Hence the specific authorization of an army and a navy. Nothing about an Air Force or Space Force. If only powers explicitly enumerated are allowed then those are only two of the literally thousands of unconstitutional agencies that are in existence. Right?
Dang man, quit splitting hairs and go after the really big unconstitutional stuff like the HHS ($1 trillion budget) and almost all of the unconstitutional Forth Branch “Administrative State” agencies and bureaucracies that do more harm than good and bleed out America’s wealth and strength.
Sure thing. HHS, DHS, State, Education, VA, all of Justice except for courts, Agriculture, Interior, Border Patrol, and on and on. Get rid of them all.
Wrong.
You interpret the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended. You don’t become robotic. You use your head and jurisprudence when it comes to interpreting and applying the Constitution.
“Army and navy” simply translate into the current military as it is currently known. Military strength is simply not unconstitutional if it to protect the nation. That is a clearly understood original intent and understanding of the Constitution.
At that time the military was the army and the navy. Nobody could fly yet. Other branches of our military are perfectly OK constitutionally as long as they are there to protect our land.
What the Constitution DOES NOT authorize the feds to do is regulate our communications, our medicines, our healthcare, our environment, etc. You can’t find any constitutional authorization for federal meddling in private communications, medicines, healthcare, or environment to name just a few rogue activities of the feds.
I don’t post much anymore.
BUT THIS IS A JOYOUS OCCASION!!!
ONE WE NEVER THOUGHT WE’D SEE.
Or at least I didn’t.
Alito is Tough and wasn’t going to be bullied.
YES, I singled him out because he’s of Italian descent like me. Leave me alone!! :)
Clarence is also a Great man. They all are that had the courage to vote for this.
Scalia...be happy and smile wherever you are.
Still, I don’t get the uproar. It’s not illegal. Just not in the constitution.
I WANT it to be illegal but this saves a LOT of lives.
And will push people on the left and right to move into other states because it is getting TOO HARD To live in a blue state if you are red and vice versa.
Then the lines can be drawn :)
though I fear all the companies moving to Texas are bringing too many blue folks with them.
OK I’m done :)
Hope you are well.
We're talking about explicit powers as opposed to implied powers. An air force or a space force may not be unconstitutional but as separate entities nothing in the Constitution authorizes them.
What the Constitution DOES NOT authorize the feds to do is regulate our communications, our medicines, our healthcare, our environment, etc.
It also does not authorize the feds to get involved in science (NASA), transportation (air traffic control, interstate highway system), DOJ (federal prisons or law enforcement or border patrol), Agriculture (food safety and inspection), Veterans Affairs (VA hospitals), and the like. So do away with all of those?
It takes knowledge, understanding, reason, and common sense to interpret and apply the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended.
I can’t reason with you so I’m going to let you go.
Doing well. Hope you are as well. Sadly the youngsters have been indoc’d for the past 49ish years to believe that it is part of the constitution and is “settled law”. Simply hand them a copy of the constitution and have them highlight where the “right” is noted in the document. As you well know, there is no point in trying to argue with them. As Mark Twain put it: “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot!” And there are more than enough to go around. Here in nevaDUH it has been put into the Nevada Revised Statutes that it is legal up to 24 weeks. Or later if the mother is in danger. Of course defining “danger” is pretty vague. The fools are so ignorant that they believe the ruling bans abortions nationwide. It dose no such thing. But, ignorance......... Have a good day.
.
....Missouri bans baby murder....
No, Abortion did not become illegal…
On demand Abortion for any reason did.
Doctors can still perform a medical abortion to save the life of the mother.
Now if it’s kept legal in Kansas, will there be a border war again?
I love that he said, in effect, let’s overrule all of them.
“no abortion shall be performed or induced upon a woman, except in cases of medical emergency,”
In other words, it’s not an unconditional ban on abortions, as the title suggested.
That’s what all red states are doing. No abortions except when medically necessary. If it will endanger the pregnant woman’s life.
I have no idea what any state is doing in the case of rape and/or incest.
Absolutely the WRONG “next bandwagon” to jump on, after Roe V Wade!Justice Thomas seems to have hinted at this and it just adds fuel to the fire for the idiots who are already calling the Supreme Court the Taliban. Wanna foment a repeat of 2020, just start an initiative to overturn gay marriage! WRONG<WRONG WRONG!! And the riots won’t be gays wanting to get married, it will be the usual suspects, from 2020 and January 6th.
Nice one! It echoes the half-assed and self-serving rhetoric of the advance guard sent out there for public speaking engagements even PRIOR to Roe v. Wade, when the initiative was still in that , uh, “embryonic” phase. Two high profile Progressive MDs, Lonnie Myers (female) and Quentin Young (male) were going to speak at U of Chicago, where I was hanging around regularly before being admitted. They were there strictly to sell the Abortion on Demand agenda which would be upcoming as a national issue. Overflow crowd of early-mid 20 somethings mostly, so I stood in the doorway, listening. I did not like what I heard, from the very beginning, even though I was provisionally pro-choice (for all I understood of the issue)......Dr. Meyers was carrying on with this crude “the developing fetus is just a clump of cells, millions of undifferentiated cells.....” I just piped up from the doorway——”Uhhh, what does the number of cells have to do with anything.....”.....She didn’t know how to answer that, since I had framed it in such a way that it took the air out of her argument. There was nothing else in her argument except that, and from that day on I started to turn Pro-Life-— and it wasn’t easy considering the kind of red diaper baby friends I had at the time.
As per above, the corollary official phrase and more popular than the one i cited, was “a blob of tissue”.
That might happen, but if it did, without question major riots would break out in every city, a lot of damage would be done and of course, none of the bastards involved would do any real jail time.
Canada! Canada seems to be turning into the the kind of commie totalitarian dictatorship they so crave.
FYI: The U.S. Supreme Court, in correcting the numerous errors of Roe vs. Wade (1973), and Casey vs. Planned Parenthood (1992) IN NO WAY banned the ghoulish practice of abortion. What the Supremes ACTUALLY did, legally speaking, is to return the power to LEGISLATE abortion regulations to the STATES, where the PEOPLE can vote on it. Thus, the decision was strongly pro-democracy and pro-freedom.
Kansas has a constitutional amendment on the ballot August 2nd to try and take care of the KS supremes’ arrogance.
