In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

    The filibuster is unconstitutional?

    And here we have the crux of the issue: the super-majority. The framers were very wary of the super-majority, even debating whether it was necessary for expulsion of congressmen or Senators: Avalon Project - Madison Debates - August 10 Avalon Project - Madison Debates - September 7 The...

    Does the commerce clause justify healthcare reform?

    No, it wasn't. Not much of it anyway. The main reasons for the commerce clause were 1) to assert the supremacy of the Federal government over the state governments when it came to trade issues and 2) to ensure that no state with a decided trade advantage could do harm to a less advantaged state...

    Should Open Carry be Legal?

    It should be a helluva lot more legal than concealed carry.

    The filibuster is unconstitutional?

    In reading Baker, I have to wonder at the statement made by Brennan: That would seem to me to open the door to judicial review of Senate rules that are charged in court to be unconstitutional. Now that review might come in the form of a denial of hearing, but at least the precedent is there to...

    The filibuster is unconstitutional?

    How many bills has the hyper-partisan, tea-party controlled House sent to the Senate that have a snowball's chance in hell of passing? Why waste time that can be spent elsewhere on bills that have no chance of passage, because even the moderate Republicans won't go for it?

    The filibuster is unconstitutional?

    Because it's a (long-decided) tenet of law that if a statute expressly allows some thing in certain situations, it implicitly denies it in all others unless a qualifying statement is used to extend the implied limits of the statute. By naming those issues which require a super-majority in the...

    A Limited Government?

    Au contraire, mon frere!! The framers were decidedly in favor of regulation (in the modern sense) to enforce equitable commerce between the states. An example: SOURCE That is but one example. Throughout that summer of 1787, the discussion of commerce was fairly limited. But when the framers...

    Justice Ginsburg causes storm dissing the Constitution while abroad

    Does she, or does she not have the right to say whatever the hell she wants about the Constitution?

    A Limited Government?

    If you want to know what the founders were thinking, you should read Madison's notes on the Constitutional Convention. A significant debate took place the first week on whether or not the "first body" (the House of Representatives) should be elected directly by the people, or by the state...

    The filibuster is unconstitutional?

    That's why we have elections every two years. If you don't like what the majority is doing, then change the majority. If you can't do that, it might just be possible that the majority of your friends and neighbors agree with the actions of the majority. It's called democracy. expressio unius...

    Obama: ‘Corporations aren’t people’

    That is a bald-faced lie. Obama has put trillions of entitlement cuts on the table, with the prerequisite that taxes also must be raised. He has never proposed a tax-increase-only program. Stop lying, and spreading the lie. The talking-heads of the right have been spouting the "taxes-cost-jobs"...

    Obama: ‘Corporations aren’t people’

    Then any political donations should be made by those people and NOT the corporation. Also, a corporation should only be allowed to donate to their direct Representative or Senatorial candidate - the one that represents the district where their corporate office is located. WTH should a...

    Obama: ‘Corporations aren’t people’

    Yes, but they'll charge extortionate fees for doing the same thing that the military used to do for themselves at a fraction of the cost. [/halliburton] No, although there are certainly some that need to die. I would submit that many of the largest corporations already are: sick with the...
