“I ever said ‘There ought to be a law’?...If you have, then you do not believe in the constitution, and are a form of socialist”
Oh, by the way, I wouldn’t have supposed it needs to be mentioned that there are state and local governments, as well as enumerated powers of the federal government, all of which can birth laws in accordance with the Constitution. But you proved me wrong, and apparently some people do need reminding.
You are correct....the tenth amendment is a very powerful amendment. The problem is the feds are rendering it moot, with activist judges, and overreaching congress. All items you mentioned in both posts are not the responsibility of the federal government. They are reserved for the states. Since everytime a libertarian speaks, the conservatives always bring up drugs and hookers, lets start there.
The federal government has no role in the war on drugs, other than to protect the borders against illegal importation. They have no business conducting no knock raids. They also have no business overriding a states decision to legalize or not.
Same with hookers. This is a state issue, with the feds having no business interfering with the citizens of the state’s decisions on this matter.
Same with abortion. If all the abortionists want to move to vermont and make roadside abortions legal, the citizens of that state have the right to do so. If texas wants to imprison abortionists, they have the right to do so. The feds have no role in this.
If you take away the hype and bs that is usually spewed during these discussions, you will find that what I stated is true, that the constitution as written pisses off both libs and conservatives.
