This week, the Supreme Court measured Obamacare to see whether it fits within the confines of the Constitution. The big picture is whether the Constitution limits the behavior of the federal government to the plain meaning and historical context of the Constitution, or whether clever lawyers and politicians can interpret language in the Constitution so as to justify whatever Congress wishes to do. Does the Constitution mean what it says? Does it limit the federal government to the powers it has delegated to Congress? Or is it a blank check for Congress to do whatever it can get away with?
One of those delegated powers is the power to regulate interstate commerce. The language in the commerce clause authorizes Congress “to regulate” commerce among the states. When James Madison wrote that phrase, he and the other framers were animated by the startling lack of interstate commerce among the states under the Articles of Confederation. This was the period after the Revolution and before the Constitution when the merchants and bankers who had financed the Revolution also controlled the state legislatures. They were both creditors, because they had lent money to the state governments to finance the war, and debtors, because they now controlled the machinery of state government that owed them money.

I only get the sausage biscuit on the $1 menu in the morning (no egg or cheese - still can’t be beat for $1). The sausage McGriddle sandwich is good, but probably twice as expensive.
As I get older any fast food from the “regular” (non-breakfast) menus makes me throw up about 20 minutes after eating it. When I was younger we seriously had it like once per year (large family - couldn’t afford it). Once I was working I pigged out on it, and since I was about 35 years old (a few years ago) I couldn’t stand it anymore. I work near a Burger King, a McDonalds, a White Castle, a KFC, and I still prefer a deli sandwich or empanada to that crap; I guess this is what happens when we get old...
I love broccoli, but take mine lightly steamed emerald green but still crisp. A light dusting of Lite salt on it and I could eat of pound of it. We have it a couple times a week, in spite of the obama’s. No cheese sauce since it covers the broccoli flavor.
However, anything tastes good with cheese sauce. Probably even dog poop. But I’ve never tried that.
eeeeeK!

Maybe that’s why I can eat it. LOL
