Oh, and Philip H, all of these were passed in 2006, under REPUBLICAN leadership. Thanks for playing, though…
And Brutally Honest, yes I vote, and I vote for candidates who know what they Constitutional rights and responsibilities are:
“lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States.” Art. I, 8, cl. 1.
Items like these do NOT fit those criteria. They are state issues, not federal ones.
John H: love your analysis of the Bill of Rights. If I lived in NC, I might just vote for you (that is high praise coming from me)
Don’t agree on the Teapot Museum, though.
