I implore the good people of Texas and Oklahoma to have mercy and be gracious to refugees should this upcoming ruling go the wrong way.

Please leave your borders open for a time while discussions of succession are had internally. It might take me a few months to get the family moved to your area. I promise to be a good and productive member of your new society.

Thank you in advance.

I’m starting to think that nut job Charles Manson was right. He ranted about how it’s wrong for nine men to control the lives of more than 200,000,000 people.

It’s much too easy to corrupt a small group. This court is corrupt. There are four honest patriotic men on this court. There are four socialists. There is on opportunist.

First we’ll close the southern border first.

Then we’ll have to politely ask some people to move out. Sheila Jackson Acorn-Head is on the list.

Then we’ll have to be very picky about who we let in. Good luck on making the grade.

Oh, how I wish this could REALLY happen.

[Tenacious 1]

Yup, it will be a king george moment. Problem is, where are the leaders equivalent to our founding fathers?

Aww, that is a good question. I hope they have already been elected at the state level. Rick Perry? Mitch Daniels? Jan Brewer? Mary Fallin?

If our founders wanted Congress to regulate ALL commerce, and all activity or non-activity that can have an effect upon commerce - then why did they specify only INTERSTATE commerce was to be regulated by Congress?

[tacticalogic]

The Constitution guarantees the States a republican form of governmnt. If there is “nothing left”, then there is no republic - the contract is broken, and any authority derived from it nullified.

[ex-snook]

Nah Justice Scalia, it’s what’s after this. The Government drafting me, giving me a rifle, and sending me to war in France is hard to top. It was very important to the nation then. How important is health care needs to be decided now, not the power of government.

Then we’ll have to be very picky about who we let in. Good luck on making the grade.

LOL. I lived in Austin for about 3 years. My daughter was born there. I voted for Rick Perry for Governor. I'm a member of FR.

Do I qualify? :o)

[TheCause]

I am confident the brave will show and make a stand.

If our founders wanted Congress to regulate ALL commerce, and all activity or non-activity that can have an effect upon commerce - then why did they specify only INTERSTATE commerce was to be regulated by Congress?

Well, you see, it depends on what the definition of "interstate" means. On the one hand, it means commerce between states or across state lines.

On the other hand, it doesn't.

See?

[allmendream]

Sure sure.

When our founders wrote that Congress will have the power to regulate interstate commerce, OBVIOUSLY, they meant both interstate commerce, intrastate commerce, and any activity or non-activity that could have an effect upon commerce./s

I don’t know, man. Allowing your daughter to be an anchor baby is a slippery slope. However, after we get rid of all the libs in Austin there will be plenty of openings.
