		<description><![CDATA[In so much that the power of government effects commerce guess what else effects interstate commercial?  
 
That&#039;s right your vote!  I would argue that it would be madness if we are to assume that the power to regulate interstate commerce includes the power to control all that which might &quot;effect&quot; interstate commerce weather it be an act of commercials or not  does not inherently include the very same power to vote, in state, local, and even Federal elections as all 3 of them government invariably effect interstate commerce as well. 
 
As they unshackle or Federal government ever more and more from the chains of our constitution they inevitably find evermore and more dangerous things the same government is then allowed to do with their now more free hand. 
 
 
Are we to now to uses the same court and their &#8220;good&#8221; if nu-consented(no ratification) to &#8220;judgment&#8221; to further rewrite our Constitution as to carve out a nearly infinite list of also unwritten exception to the &#8220;new rule&#8221; they have just created in-order in to solve the hornets nest of new threats to our liberty their arrogant act of constitutional disregard has brought upon us?  If so just how long is this &#8220;new constitution&#8221; going to be?   
 
Furthermore who gave you the power to take our rights from us with out the Article 5 amendment process of acquiring the consent of at least 3/4ths of our states? 
 
Either our constitution is fatally flawed in that it effectively grants the Federal government a blank check of power and none of its provision really mean much of anything, or the court&#039;s &#8220;broad interpretation&#8221;.   Is an arrogant act akin to the overthrow of our Constitution and the tyrannical usurpation of our rights. 
 
Choose what you wish to believe, but do so quickly because each &#8220;problem&#8221; has a  very different set of solutions which we must begin working on.   We have either been robed of our most essential right of self-determination thou fear, fraud or mistake as John Adams put it in the &#8220;Rights of the Colonists, 1772&#8221; : 
&#8220;If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave.&#8221;  
 
Or the Federal government in collaboration with their own appointed Federal Courts have stolen our rights from us by effecting the practical destruction of our once free Constitution of civil government. 
 
 
In either case we have a serous problem, but both cases have a different set of solutions. The question that must eventually be answered is which is the case is it?

		<description><![CDATA[From guest&#039;s comment a couple of days ago, &quot;...the main problem is that so many people today do not CARE what the original meaning of the US Constitution was.&quot; 
 
   Unfortunately, too many citizens of our country are seemingly eaten up with complacency at a time in which knowledge and being informed are paramount.  Being complacent in times such as these is acutely dangerous.  Too many feel it&#039;s the fed&#039;s job to take care of them, while the informed of us know all too well that isn&#039;t the case; although, that&#039;s exactly what the federal government would have you believe.  If we allow them to, (c)ongress will continue to use the Constitution against us, with things like the Commerce Clause, to capitalize on the notion that they are the ultimate nannies.  When (c)ongress is seen in that light many will simply roll over, get complacent (there&#039;s that word again), and allow (c)ongress to take whatever power they deem necessary.  That&#039;s why we have to continually inform our citizenry of the truth and fight back.  NULLIFY, NULLIFY, NULLIFY!!! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t believe anyone should be forced to buy health care. But I think that many on the conservative end of things really take for granted that somehow only certain people should be to be able to get health care. I&#039;m neither conservative nor liberal. I cannot stand either Dems or Repugs. But it is nonsense to believe that we live our lives as isolated islands. We are all part of a web, connected, whether people think so or not. When a family owned business pays its employee minimum wage (only because they are &quot;forced&quot; to by government) I not only question the governmental intention but also this family. It is immoral to pay min wage (which is really slave labor) then bitch about the guy or gal going and getting food aid from the government.  
 
I&#039;m so sick of both sides on these issues. there is no balance and no logical reasoning behind any of it. The constitution was originally written for white male land owners.  In modern tech society that is class rigid with the majority of middle class being upheld by the poverty of those working at min t barely living wages, it is immoral to speak of denying people like me the ability to see a doctor, which at this point would save my life very simply. ]]></description>
