Chuck Schumer looks like a character in a Hieronymous Bosch painting. Scary as hell.
Time to block everything till the election.
Ok then, play hardball. They want Manxhin-Toomey, they have to pass this bill.
Same for looking down his nose over his glasses.
Stay frosty ....
You nailed it. One of the ghoulish attending figures in a scene from Hell.
Exactly. They love these incidents because it gives them a chance to get more power in more control. The dirty secret is, that they are admitting, they don’t want these to stop the more shootings the better.
Stop the chemical castration of boys by giving them dangerous drugs like Ritalin and other psychotropic drugs.
Here is number one. If a kid claims he is going to in the future and state the year 2022,that he is going to shoot up a school. It does not get expunged when he reaches 18.
Leave things to the state, our biggest problems always come from the federal government meddling in local affairs.
Before the Dept of Education was created by Carter, we never had these types of problems.
Why would anyone want the Feds to be in solved in anything that has to do with your children's life?
I agree, thank you Schumer for accidentally getting something right, because if he knew the devastating repercussions of this bill, he would have had every democrat on board with it.
Does anyone even realize the problems created when Bush created the Dept of Homeland Security? What we need to do is start dismantling Federal agencies and limit the power of the Federal governments power and reach in our live, not increase their control by creating new bureaucracies.
Wake up people, and smell the stench we already must deal with coming from DC, and stop supporting more Fed control in our lives just because it has the initials of a Republican on the desired legislation.
LEES NOT MORE!
I agree 100%.
I'll also emphasize that, with the exception of militia training, the prudence in keeping the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds out of INTRAstate schooling is not a matter of opinion under the Constitution.
More specifically, both President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also Justice Joseph Story, had both indicated that the Constitution would first need to be appropriately amended in order for Congress to be able to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for intrastate schooling purposes — something that the states have never done!
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphases added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The current problem with intrastate schools is this. Neither state government elected leaders, or school administrators, seem to understand that the so-called "federal" funding with unconstitutional requirements that they regularly beg corrupt Congress for is arguably state revenues that the feds are regularly stealing from the states by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.
More specifically, the feds steal state revenues by means of unconstitutional (imo) federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers imo.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The bottom line is that Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters need to start working with their new, Trump-endorsed state lawmakers in 2023 to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes.
Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped then the states will ultimately find a tsunami (imo) of new revenues that they can use to improve state infrastructure, including schools.
Note that Justice Louis Brandeis had volunteered his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to emphasize the 10th Amendment-protected powers of the states to ultimately provide the kind of state social spending programs that a state's legal majority citizen voters want, most post FDR-era federal social spending programs unconstitutional imo.
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
From the congressional record, a statement concerning the 14th Amendment by Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of that amendment:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Again, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters need to start supporting their new, Trump-endorsed federal and state lawmakers in 2023 to eliminate the unconstitutional middleman, the unconstitutionally big federal government, from “helping” the states to manage their revenues.
Corrections, insights welcome.
I agree, but sadly even Trump and many he is endorsing as unaware of the power the 10 Amendment, and how it could be the biggest and most powerful tool if used as it should be.
That being said, the recent news that the Supreme Court is flirting with sending abortion rights to the states, is misguided. If there is anything more clear about what theConstitution has complete control over. It is the control of what life is.
I keep asking people who like the states having the say due to the 10Th Amendment. “What part of the phrase, “”Life, Liberty, a d the Pursuit of Happiness”” do people not understand”? It is obviously the the word, “Life”.
That one word makes abortion a Federal Constitutional right at the Federal level, and thus the Supreme Court has an obligation to outlaw abortion in all states, and not give any state the right to decide. The ruling i could be as bad as the Missouri Compromise at the 36th parallel ruling on slavery.
Yet again, way too many are so confused and ignorant of the power of the 10th Amendment that even those who think they know about it, are themselves uneducated about the rights given the Federal government. So much so that way too many conservatives like the idea of a divided country when it comes to the life of the most innocent of humans.
This is something that should be so easy to explained to blacks that I and shocked no one ever uses it to wake them up that the whole abortion issue is but another way to legalize the murder of black American, especially since over 65% of all abortions are performed on black women. A genocide of the black race. If properly phrased and used it should help put a mail in the coffin of the Democrat establishments control over their vote.
I could not agree more.
You’re absolutely right. But no one wants to even approach the problem rationally.
