DOJ Could Ban Texas Flights Over Anti-Patdown Law
hellkyng writes "The Department of Justice may ban flights from Texas because of the Anti-Patdown law making its way through the legal system. Says Rep. David Simpson, 'Someone must make a stand against the atrocities of our government agents.' Should be interesting to see if Texas can pave the way for grope-free flying fun."
FIX:
Congress has been granted zero authority to forbid [internal domestic] travel by airplane or train, or car, or wagon. Read Amendments 9 and 10.
This is what happens when you kill the federalist system and replace it with a central oligarchy that exercises power without limits. You lose freedom as the voice of the People is no longer heard in the thousand-mile distant capitol city, and the central leadership cares more about gaining power than service to their bosses (us).

>>>I imagine some would interpret this as meaning, "I want to believe this is true, so it must be true."
No need to believe when you have the written LAW in front of you: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Clear as day. Congress was never granted power to forbid cross-state travel by plane, train, car, wagon, bike, foot, et cetera. Therefore they cannot.
