No, a treaty with provisions that violate the Bill of Rights is certainly eligible for ratification. Now, can those offending elements be defended in court successfully?

Your article is in error. The SCOTUS has held that the Commerce Clause give the legislature authority to regulate transactions within states, because they could, at any time, become interstate transactions.

Scalito had a great dissent recently... "(some little frog) for reasons of it's own, spends its entire life within the state of California..."

Still, that is the legal justification for regulation of wildlife, regulation of Marijuana, regulation of firearms.

Environmental laws are strange. For example, the Secretary of Defense was allowed to permit filling in an estuary for purposes of national defense.

At the same time a pre-existing law exempted the US Postal Service from any federal law that didn't specifically name it as being subject to that law.

Interestingly enough, the same law prohibiting everybody but DOD from filling in an estuary didn't name USPS. This meant USPS could fill in an estuary any time it pleased.

I thought this was quite ineresting and checked with the Facilities folks at USPS to see if they were aware of this. They already had a list of such projects worked up and my informant suggested they had accelerated the schedule of work before the environmentalists noticed.

This reply is probably the most brilliant I ever seen on FR!

Can't be. You've seen that post before. Must be an involuted recursive hyperbole. ;-)

> Can this actually be interpreted any other way?

No, I can't see any _sane_ way that it could be.

For bald-faced smoke and mirrors treatment of the manner in which they are ratified (of which your posts are but a shallow imitation),

That's pretty funny!! For some more laughs, why don't you explain again how US Treasury Bills are backed by water and mineral rights?

"Must be an involuted recursive hyperbole"

Besides! You know I don't do "cursive!" I may curse a little, but NO CURSIVE!!! (dammit!)

Also, I'm like the CEO that writes a memo with deliberately challengable lines, or quotes in it. Then I sit back and see who's reading for comprehension!!!

There is something like that in one of my replies on this very thread and no one has called me on it yet.
