"If you already don't know why these agencies are unconstitutional, then that is the first sign of stunted growth."

In other words, you have no idea of what you're talking about AGAIN, and are unable to substantiate your claims.

The agencies are not unconstitutional as the constitution gives Congress the power to create them, and the president the power to appoint their heads.

"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."

" He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officer, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."

I am convinced you are a liberal. I hope others are reading your post. If you are going to use the necessary and proper clause to justify the explosion of government largeese, then all discussions end right there. The 9th and 10th amendment??? Who needs them? The federal government cannot have any powers unless the States which ratified the Constitution clearly ENUMERATES them to the federal govt. The federal govt has grown so big, that it doesn't care about federalism anymore. I am sure, GWB's idea of federalism is no different from Gore's. I am dead convinced you are a liberal. Go play at DU. I am sure they will love your legal "reasoning."
