TOTALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

We had better start calling our Congress critters tomorrow, and keep calling, and letting them know that this continued assault on the Constitution will not be tolerated.

He DUMMIES, You can't legislate or mandate charity, or volunteerism. It becomes no longer either, and is against the law.

“So what part of the Constitution does this violated?”

Amendment XIII (13th)

Section 1 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
except as a punishment for crime whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within
the United States, or any place subject to their
jurisdiction.

“What gives the Government the right to require individuals to give 3 years service under the guise of “volunteer” service? It is not explicit exactly who is required but I think they get the Bill passed and then iron out the details.

It talks about uniforms and “camps.” They revise the word “camps” and call it “campus.” There is language about Seniors and Community organizations.”

It would be easier to say what it didn’t violate.

I would happily serve in a group dedicated to tarring and feathering Democrats.

No, not what part of the Constitution does it VIOLATE.

More accurately, what part of the Constitution ALLOWS it?

Remember the Tenth Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

If the Constitution doesn’t SPECIFICALLY give the feds the power, then they don’t have the power.

>>Amendment XIII (13th)<<

Yeah, like a silly piece of paper like the USC has any bearing on the new fuhrer’s handlers’ decisions.

I mean, if they are going to once and for all dispatch the the 1st and 2nd to the same dust bin of history as the 9th and 10th, what make you think the 13th has any meaning?

Yes, which leaves “We The People” with no other alternative than to educate these libtards about the relevance, meaning and cemented God-given laws of the old USC.;)
