  7. Re:Tweedledee won ! on Barack Obama Retains US Presidency · · Score: 1

    OK, Asshat.

    It has nothing to do with shoes, per se. It has to do with *RESPECTING THE CONSTITUTION*. On both counts. I just used those as examples.

    The TSA, behaving as it does, is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment. Copyright, as is, is a clear violation of the copyright clause -- It neither promotes the sciences and useful arts, nor is it for a limited time.

    Those were simply examples.

    Now to your points. Health care reform, to be honest, I'd almost argue that it's not in the federal purview, except that it does fall under the Interstate Commerce Clause (many people cross state lines to obtain healthcare). As a matter of fact, I think Obamacare is probably not bad.

    Not fighting pointless wars is irrelevant the argument... Afghanistan was authorized by Congress, not sure about Iraq. Iraq may have been illegal under the Constitution, but Afghanistan wasn't. Note that Obama didn't put us in Iraq, and but the pullout was under his watch.

    Again, the items I listed were examples of disrespect for the Constitution, not "Oh, I wantz fr33 w4r3Z!!!!"

  8. Re:Tweedledee won ! on Barack Obama Retains US Presidency · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If either DemoPublican candidate had promised to abolish the TSA, and to put some sanity into copyright, and otherwise respect the Constitution, I might have voted for him.
