ExiledInIllinois Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Actually, back to the bailouts and equal protection and the taking of property (5th). A quick search netted that there is a case before the courts. http://picker.typepad.com/legalinfrastructure/2011/11/starr-international-co-files-lawsuit-against-us-government-for-its-conduct-during-aig-bail-out-post-.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't have to quote it, just give me the articles and sections that apply. Where in the constitution does it prohibit bailouts of markets, and where does it require the president to create a budget? Oh, that's right. NOWHERE!

The Constitution grants specific powers to the Fed. All other powers not mentioned are left to the people and the states. If you read it, you failed the comprehension test.

dayman Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) http://www.theonion....magines-c,2849/ Area Man Passionate Defender Of What He Imagines Constitution To Be ESCONDIDO, CA—Spurred by an administration he believes to be guilty of numerous transgressions, self-described American patriot Kyle Mortensen, 47, is a vehement defender of ideas he seems to think are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and principles that brave men have fought and died for solely in his head. [ "Our very way of life is under siege," said Mortensen, whose understanding of the Constitution derives not from a close reading of the document but from talk-show pundits, books by television personalities, and the limitless expanse of his own colorful imagination. "It's time for true Americans to stand up and protect the values that make us who we are." According to Mortensen—an otherwise mild-mannered husband, father, and small-business owner—the most serious threat to his fanciful version of the 222-year-old Constitution is the attempt by far-left "traitors" to strip it of its religious foundation. "Right there in the preamble, the authors make their priorities clear: 'one nation under God,'" said Mortensen, attributing to the Constitution a line from the Pledge of Allegiance, which itself did not include any reference to a deity until 1954. "Well, there's a reason they put that right at the top. "Men like Madison and Jefferson were moved by the ideals of Christianity, and wanted the United States to reflect those values as a Christian nation," continued Mortensen, referring to the "Father of the Constitution," James Madison, considered by many historians to be an atheist, and Thomas Jefferson, an Enlightenment-era thinker who rejected the divinity of Christ and was in France at the time the document was written. "The words on the page speak for themselves." According to sources who have read the nation's charter, the U.S. Constitution and its 27 amendments do not contain the word "God" or "Christ." Mortensen said his admiration for the loose assemblage of vague half-notions he calls the Constitution has only grown over time. He believes that each detail he has pulled from thin air—from prohibitions on sodomy and flag-burning, to mandatory crackdowns on immigrants, to the right of citizens not to have their hard-earned income confiscated in the form of taxes—has contributed to making it the best framework for governance "since the Ten Commandments." "And let's not forget that when the Constitution was ratified it brought freedom to every single American," Mortensen said. Mortensen's passion for safeguarding the elaborate fantasy world in which his conception of the Constitution resides is greatly respected by his likeminded friends and relatives, many of whom have been known to repeat his unfounded assertions verbatim when angered. Still, some friends and family members remain critical. "Dad's great, but listening to all that talk radio has put some weird ideas into his head," said daughter Samantha, a freshman at Reed College in Portland, OR. "He believes the Constitution allows the government to torture people and ban gay marriage, yet he doesn't even know that it guarantees universal health care." Mortensen told reporters that he'll fight until the bitter end for what he roughly supposes the Constitution to be. He acknowledged, however, that it might already be too late to win the battle. "The freedoms our Founding Fathers spilled their blood for are vanishing before our eyes," Mortensen said. "In under a year, a fascist, socialist regime has turned a proud democracy into a totalitarian state that will soon control every facet of American life." "Don't just take my word for it," Mortensen added. "Try reading a newspaper or watching the news sometime.

Now that their horse has won the race, they're free to investigate and report on stuff.

Rob's House Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yes, I have. So you don't have to quote it, just give me the articles and sections that apply. Where in the constitution does it prohibit bailouts of markets, and where does it require the president to create a budget? Oh, that's right. NOWHERE! I must have missed this one the first time around, but when determining if Federal action is constitutional the first question is where does the constitution grant the authority.
