Ho Hum, just another unreasoned opinion from a strange fella that obviously hates our constitutional free republic.

The Constitution contains one, and ONLY one, limit on prohibitory laws.

Article. I., Section. 9., Clause 1: The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.

That restriction ended 195 years ago. Libertines who hate our Constitution are out of luck.
