You don't even know the origins of common law, you can't cite the specific prohibitions in the Constitution I asked you NUMEROUS times to cite, which you are obviously UNABLE to provide, and yet you still think you have a freakin' clue. So don't pretend that you know anything about my stance.

Well just how stupid is it to believe that we want a fed/gov or any other entity to operate under the presumption that "if it's not prohibited, it's allowed" as you so eloquently stated earlier. Your interpretation leaves so much room for abuse by those in power it's not even funny. According to your line of thinking national health insurance is not prohibited by law so by rights the Clinton's should've been able to push through Hillarycare (to the detriment of all). I guess the next time Congress should step out of the way because we all know the bureaucraps know what's best for all of us.
