You should really read the Constitution, and not just the Amendments. Start with taking a look at Article I, Section 8.

And Article 1, Section 8 covers at the Federal level social security, medicare, welfare, medicaid, national health, education, national energy, the national petroleum reserve, the Federal Reserve, Corporate bailouts and a plethora of other programs with no Constitutional Authority where?

The founding fathers set out to write a narrowly written document ceding certain specific powers to the Federal government in order to protect personal freedoms and State rights. You pick the section and article of course including the commerce clause that self serving liberals and power hungry lawyers use to rationalize their personal objectives. To actually believe that founding fathers who set out to write an enumerated document meant the commerce clause to be so broad as to include anything that is or even could be traded between the States rendering it meaningless as an "enumerated" power can only be achieved through deluded self serving rationalization or monumental stupidity. Typically it's done by those practicing the former in order to persuade the latter.

I suppose this is reserved only for government lawyers, too? And please. Tell me what the LSAT has to do with the Constitution. When I took it, it had reading comprehension, a logic games section, and a legal reasoning section (which did not involve the Constitution or Bill of Rights). Or is this yet another example of you not knowing what you're talking about?

Um...OK. My reference is that the LSAT is dominated by "logic." Did you really not get that? Was it a "joke" to somehow prove my point that you didn't follow the reference? :hmm:

Well, the second one was either a "joke" or a reference YOU didn't get. What was the first one?

Good observation, this is true. Hard work, investment and living beneath your means continue to produce wealth. Spending your check, failing to get an education and working the minimum don't. The phenomena you accurately observe could be considered Einstein's definition of "sanity," where you expect the same actions to produce the same results, and remarkably they do...
