Feds to close California Pot dispensaries

[Forever_frost]

Actually, I talked to both Republicans AND democrats about the unconstitutional expansion of the federal government and their very limited constitutional powers. What I tend to get is "Oh, I haven't memorized the constitution."

Without fail, that's what I tend to get.

Pelosi directed me to speak with her aid right before said aid asked me and the other disabled veterans there to give up our seats for other VIP's. So while I'm actually talking to Congress about these issues, you can keep your fingers in your ears saying "But, they are doing it so it MUST be legal. AFterall, it's on paper right?" No not right. They have 18 powers. Drug enforcement is not on there, the FAA is not on there, the EPA, Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Agriculture, none of them are in the constitution.

Edit: I've also spoken to Texas state legislators and Rick Perry himself on the issue.

Well it certainly sounds like you have the ball rolling on the Revolution. I do applaud that you took your comments to the appropriate place, but I'm not surprised they refused to listen.

Nor am I. As a matter of fact, this discussion is pretty much done much better here:

The federal government was bound by men who feared an overreaching, too powerful government as the one they had just won independence from. To believe that the federal government has any power it wishes, does away with the enumerated powers and the constitution as a whole as evidently, all power is given to it by the general welfare clause. To stretch that clause so much to declare the federal government may do as it likes due to a clause, which has no actual power of law behind it, is to say that the national defense clause allows the TSA, the Patriot Act and a host of other actions to be committed under the guise of national defense.
