constitutional scholar is a useless term. Over the last 150 years I've seen 'scholars' define the constitution in such twisted and tortured ways that it's beyond belief. why do we keep referring such important issues to 'sholars'?

as i've stated many times, because of mainstream politicos worship of big government power, the power to tax has been broadened to such an extent that congress can now mandate that you plant roses or morning glories in your front yard. I hardly think that this kind of power was intended by the framers of the constitution.
