And the FDA has been given the authority to decide what is safe to market and not to market, in the way of food and drugs.

Contrary to the Constitution.

It would seem so; and if so, we need to shore up the Constitution to reflect greater national capabilities in our governance.

Here's what is needed to shore up the Constitution.

1. Repeal the Sixteenth Amendment.

2. Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment.

3. Have government officials obey the clear, simple language of the Constitution with as much precision and zeal as they do with complicated laws and bureaRATtic regulations.

I'm pleased to find that we agree on this point.

and if so, we need to shore up the Constitution to reflect greater national capabilities in our governance.

I would vote against such an amendment; I see no reason why food or drug regulation needs to be nationalized.
