They never do.
A couple years ago, I was golfing in Rock Island (next to Moline) with my BIL and we played thru a couple somewhere on the back 9 (they were really slooooow...IIRC, they acted like we were peons; who were we to ask to play thru).
My BIL told me that was his congressman, a real jerk (my BIL’s description), and his wife. Looking at the video, I’m thinking this is the guy. Maybe not...it’s been 2 years after all, but the features are somewhat similar, though he shows less weight in the video than he did then.
In any event, nice to see he lost his election bid.
“”I don’t worry about the Constitution,” said Rep. Phil Hare, Democrat of Illinois.
They never do.”
For the record I worry about my liberty more than a federal constitution that was mortally wounded & crippled 150 years ago. To expect the prisoners to guard their own prison is madness.
Yet that is precisely what we are told theses Federal employees whether they work for Obama, wear black-robes, or vote in congress only the only ones capable of doing.
I guess nobody bothered to question their Federal inclination, nor the fact that State legislators too take the same oath with the same responsibly yet their voices & separate inclinations are ignored & supplanted. There is no potability of balance under a system where one side dictates the rules both play by.
By all means let the left rail against the Federal court, let us join & direct their ill-rational anger towards the inevitable Federal bias of the Federal Employees in black robes. When they claim government is crippled let us agree that our States are crippled by Federal mandates.
Then let us remind them that if government is the answer to all their problems how then do they ever disagree with that government?
Just give a polite wave goodbye to these people. They’ll appreciate your kindness. (not)
Wickard v. Filburn needs to go.
