you can plainly see that it was never really tried. They abused the Constitution from the start!

So you keep claiming - while refusing to provide evidence. Your unsupported claims are worth every penny I paid for them.

There is more than enough evidence that Congress spent money from the treasury for the aid and comfort of citizens and for other purposes. They began making law and ignoring the 10th nearly immediately.

That evidence exists in the congressional record and much more. I don’t have it at my fingertips...one certainly could research it. Much research has been done, but not for that particular question, that I am aware of.

In any case I am not going to do the research.

I don’t care to win this argument.

It is patently obvious that Congress never took much of the Constitution seriously except in rhetoric, and like all of government, saw it as hindrances.

If they had taken it seriously, we would not be where we are today. These violations are not all recent. There never was a purist time of American governance.. It’s a myth.

I need to run out and get some dinner for tonight.

I won’t be back to argue this further, because I don’t have anything more to add to what I have said and I don’t care about the trials and tribulations of MJ smokers. I still believe it to be harmful to youth. If they change the laws/regs/whatever I don’t have a dog in the fight. I have grandchildren however..

What drew me into this was a argument about the tenth.

I don’t see where that amendment is even functional any longer, and has not been for my lifetime or those that preceded me. Pre depression, I believe it still had some relevance but since it seems to have become just words on paper.

I don’t advocate this.

I don’t relish federal power over my existence. I find it irritating and often intimidating. In fact it has affected my life in several ways.. but I digress..

CU
