One insane thing in the Constitution is the power of the USSC to control anything it wishes. That was written into the beast.
Another insane thing in the Constitution was slavery.
So to complain that the Congress can furnish the meaning of a term used, is, itself, insane.
That would appear to have been a mistake.
Another insane thing in the Constitution was slavery.
That was a deal with the devil. Those states which later objected to it, should have broke from the Union or let the other ones go.
So to complain that the Congress can furnish the meaning of a term used, is, itself, insane.
Yup. Giving congress the power to redefine the meanings of words in our governing document is utterly nuts.
As we have seen with the "gay marriage" issue (and others) giving even the Supreme Court that power has proven to be insane.
