There is the little matter of the 13th Amendment, which bars compulsory servitude (otherwise known as “slavery”).

You must not be familiar with the penumbra.

Here's how it will work in the colleges. Obama couples this with a $4,000 financial aid grant, which is conditional upon the "community service" being done. It works out to the work being paid at the rate of $40/hr. So far, so good.

BUT what will inevitably happen is the colleges will raise tuition again (tuition has risen much faster than inflation, and keeps place with any increase in financial aid), so within a year students will be the same amount they had been paying out of pocket, PLUS will need to do the 100 hours. This will translate into failure to do community service resulting in a $4K fine.

I teach at a school that requires community service. That is community service for drug and alcohol violations.

Did you hear, he paid his extra campaign workers in pre-paid Visa gift cards, and short-payed them?

Since when does our country pay attention to the constitution anymore? O thinks it needs a little “re-working” anyway....

It will only take five Supreme Court justices to draw a line through that one.
