Commerce Clause meaning and intent has been grossly mutilated... The Natural Law Theory Justice from Wikipedia: “ Justice Clarence Thomas, in a separate concurring opinion, argued that allowing Congress to regulate intrastate, noncommercial activity under the Commerce Clause would confer on Congress a general “police power” over the Nation.”
Right now, YES, I believe in Federal control in the War on Drugs ONLY because we are so unconstitutional now with welfare laws, etc. that people get government money (mine) when they do dysfunctional things, because we are no longer based on God’s Laws and We the People.
In other words, they do not suffer consequences for their drug use....they are picked up from the gutter and do not die...where people would learn really quickly what happens to drug addicts, etc.....kind of the way things happened in the Wild Wild West. If people don’t suffer consequences for their actions it is endorsement of the activity. Give unwed mothers money for having children out of wedlock===Wow!!! You get lots of it. (Cause and effect).
Then you have the Opium trade in China that shows the evil and destruction of a culture that happens when there is no drug law. (I know why Soros wants to legalize it....to push it on the kids and ruin their future, motivation and respect of culture and destroy their brains and make them uninterested in learning true history and the joys of intellectual endeavors. He wants obamabots who copulate all over the place since they’re so vulnerable with “plastic minds” at age 6 (easily shaped into godless idiots by our public schools because of Postmodernism.). Kind of like the Brave New World. He wants sex ed to teach children that there is no moral component to the sex act, so they think of sex as a commodity because of immaturity experiment with all the pederasts, mostly Soros’ friends who are all sick and twisted.
Chambers said it best: God or man. Well, our Constitution was Founded on God’s standards of right and wrong....not Soros’ sick, twisted vision of obamabot slaves.
Libertarian drug policies only will work successfully if the rest of the society is free and has limited government. You can not have ONE section be Libertarian and have it work successfully if the other areas of society aren’t based on Libertarian philosophy. It won’t work...it will create a hellhole deeper than the one we are already in.
I think we should have our gun rights returned to us BEFORE any restrictions on drugs be lifted. AND our rights to use them when our property or bodies are threatened. There are so MANY unconstitutional laws and regulations that we need back to become healthy and responsible citizens again. Drug laws are lower than the more essential gun laws, right for parents to choose schools and teachers... etc. etc. We need the ability to get our kids out of the Marxist PC brainwashing institutions-—where we can again teach absolutes and then...Yes...have no drug laws....the kids will be able to make the intellectually right choice because they will have knowledge based on reason and logic. Why would they want to damage their bodies when they have the Truth and a loving family support system.
Responsible, virtuous people need no laws.
Wow! That's some pretty cloudy reasoning. The so-called "War on Drugs" is a mockery of two travesties of a sham.
Having said that, federal and state governments have every right to impose drug testing on welfare recipients.
My own state of Florida recently passed such a law, and I am all for it, while still being staunchly against fascist War on Drugs itself...
There is a method for fedgov to deal with national problems without cheating on the Commerce Clause. It's called amending the Constitution. If there's an emergent situation, fedgov is authorized to deal with invasions, rebellions or insurrections.
You, however, advocate fedgov violating the Commerce Clause to inject federal power for your particular cause.
Your display of contempt for the Constitution is an example that would do a Lefty proud.
