OK, FR I don't watch TV, gimme a transcript if you want specifics but here is how it is. Powers not enumerated in the Constitution to the federal government are reserved for the states or the people. However people get their dick in an uproar with this shit and forget that there are powers whaich ARE enumerated by the Constitution as a legitimate process and purpose of the federal government. The Constitution has been usurped of course and things need to change, but without enough popular support for a real revolution it must be done within the framework of the law, which is of course embodied in the Constitution. Here's where people get lost. Now the way I read it, theoretically if the People got together and supported and proved it, by ballot, 535 members of both houses, technically we could throw the bums out. This is as about as technical as something a good gumba told me when we bought this house with a sufferance tenant. Now I know why the word sufferance is used. It was found that while I could not just take a few goons in there and move her out, there was nothing she could do to stop me from moving in. Understand I do not have the right to remove her, but I have every right to be there because we have absolutely no contract. I really hoped she would stick around long enough for me to test that theory. So in essence, new duly elected representatives, using the correct lawful vehicle we should be able to simply displace the thugs who exist there now. However this is all legal theory at best and surely isn't going to happen. Whatevr that website has to say about it, we are not the ones who interpret the Constitution. It is nice to have the hopes and dreams of a child, but sometimes the child's dreams are akin to the chicken who crossed the road. Some of them get run over by a bus. Get it through your head, they have more guns. Yes that is an occupational government, and I do not argue that point in any way. But there are only two ways to fix this mess, the ballot box or the cartridge box. Neither option is very attractive right now. T
