Why do you consider trespassers to be making 'law'

They consider themselves to be above the law. Without honor, they disregard the legal rights of owners.

You know what I'm talking about.

You want to turn our entire court system upside down for what? So doctors can be allowed to murder 100 people a year in Oregon?

Oh, please. I'm not interested.

It's a technical no. Poorly phrased question.

How could the poll be more accurately questioned? Does it have to do with the "expansion" part? That had me thinking over it a bit myself.

"Does it have to do with the "expansion" part? That had me thinking over it a bit myself."

"[T]he New Deal Court’s own constitutional justification for its radical expansion of the scope of federal power over commerce was that the congressional measures in question were valid exercises of the power granted by the Necessary and Proper Clause and were not direct exercises of the power to regulate commerce among the several states. That is, the Court did not simply and directly enlarge the scope of the Commerce Clause itself, as is often believed. Rather, it upheld various federal enactments as necessary and proper means to achieve the legitimate objective of regulating interstate commerce."
-- Stephen Gardbaum, Rethinking Constitutional Federalism, 74 Tex. L. Rev. 795, 807-08, 1996

Do you think the expansion of the Interstate Commerce Clause to include regulation and prohibition of drugs and firearms is a proper use of that clause?

You and Sarah Brady equate firearms with drugs, tpaine. Not me.
