If some of you people are going to actually require to have every damn detail spelled out for you in black and white detail, my posts are going to be longer than hosts. I'm pretty sure that most of you ignore his long ass posts because of this.
and a 250 million dollare bridge in alaska that goes to an island is 'general welfare'? This is the crap that is unconstitutional and you damn well know it. Again, if you require every minute detail about all specific arguments, you're out of your league.
so what you're really saying is that to make sure things move along smoothly, to hell with the constitution. what a fine upstanding law abiding american you are.   |
dk.....I agree that many earmarks like the bridge to nowhere are unethical and Congress should do more to control such frivolous spending. If the $250 million bridge is unconstitutional, what is the parameter....the amount? Would a $1 million bridge meet your constitutional test?
But unconstitutional? Nope, but if Ron Paul or the Libertarian Party or watchdog organization believe such acts are unconstitutional, they should challenge it in court.
You dont get to decide what is legal and what makes upstanding a law-abiding American.....until you're on the Supreme Court,
