The less Congress does, the better.

and the less you post the better, trollboy, the better, but that doesn't seem to be happening either.
it provides for an ARMY and a NAVY... but there were no aircraft back then... hence NO ENUMERATION FOR AN AIR FORCE. Are they going to introduce a constitutional amendment so that they may continue with drone strikes?
I may have to go all out and get kettle corn
The Air Force began as divisions within the Army. For funding purposes, I am sure they are still considered that.
However, if you really think we need a Constitutional Amendment to keep the Air Force Legitimate. Then I highly doubt it will be difficult to pass if the issue comes up.
I doubt the issue is going to come up.
It should come up. There isn't a specifically enumerated power to operate an Air Force.
There is also no specific enumeration of power to operate ATF, FBI, NSA, DEA, CIA, NASA, Secret Service, FEMA, TSA, Dept of Agriculture... the list goes on and on...
lol. so loose construction for what conservatives like, but strict construction for everything else?

It's not the job of Congress to keep throwing extra-Constitutional shit at the wall just to see what sticks.
and as soon as you have the ability to know what is and isn't constitutional, i'm sure your trolling will mean something.
until then, let the grown ups speak.
Security for supreme court justices?
NOPE!
I'm just glad that taxpayers won't have to be having to pay the $7.8 Billion to fund the TSA anymore, since it is not an enumerated power
Deporting illegal immigrants?
NOPE!

Hardly.
But then can you possibly explain how health care is neccessary or proper for anything in the Constitution?

Falls under General Welfare and commerce.
Emergency (and free) healthcare was getting to expensive.
Now you can fill me in on where the Constitution allows for a permanent standing army under federal control?
Hardly.

Article 1 Section 8: To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;There is no General welfare clause that grants any power whatsoever to the Federal Government in the Constitution
And the grant of power to regulate Interstate commerce to regulate the commerce between the States, not hand out "free" healthcare.
Have you read the Constitution?
Comrades,
This is most upsetting to me! How dare anyone question the supremacy of the state or of its' authority.
Who do these racist, misogynist, xenophobe, right wingers think they are?
Stating with the new congress, Republicans will require every bill to cite its specific constitutional authority, a reminder to color inside the lines drawn long ago by the Founding Fathers.
Needless to say, this is most upsetting to those of us on the progressive side for several reasons:
-how degrading that we must defer to the Constitution
-Once a bureaucracy is in place we know it's hard to get rid of
-Let us pass whatever we want and let the Courts worry about the rest
-Why remind people we are suppose to care about it
-We do enough hard work already passing bills we don't read
These are most troubling times indeed!
