U.S. Senate Leader Calls For Israeli Prime Minister To Resign
Hm, but unconstitutional things happen by the mere existence of a lot of congress, so st this point…
@9CJ6CB61mo1MO
And how is your liberty affected by a congressman calling on Israel to stop violence? Or, outside of that, what liberties have you lost? The tenth amendment is flawed, and it’s use should be more of a doctrinal guideline rather than an enforcement mechanism with no exceptions, because a LOT of things in the US require federal control or oversight.
None of them that aren't mentioned in the Constitution require federal oversight
@9CJ6CB61mo1MO
Yes, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be, not to mention that the implied powers, though abused a lot, grant the government the ability to take steps to allow them to make their current duties fulfilled, sometimes affording new ones for the sake of efficiency and security, because states either can’t handle it themselves, or would attack one another using those powers.
There are no "implied powers." Show me anything in the Constitution you think "implies" additional powers and I'll prove you wrong.
@9CJ6CB61mo1MO
Implied powers come from the Elastic Clause, which, by technicality, allows these implied powers to exist, and regardless, they’re extremely necessary for making sure the power of corporations and runaway market forces don’t become a problem.
