One would think even an Associate Clinical Professor at Cornell Law School would be able to tell you about "implied" powers in the Constitution of United States Of America if the professor weren't on vacation (vacation he begrudges others all the while taking one) to France. The Constitution is a living document allowing the people's Congress to govern the republic in the people's name. The flexibility written into the living document is what allows the Constitution to be inscribed onto a single sheet of parchment.<br /><br />People pay taxes as part of 'a more perfect Union' that is USA. The people's government is an integral part of society every waking (and sleeping!) minute of every hour of every day of our entire lives.<br /><br />Ema Nymton<br />~@:o?<br />The LEFT - taking shit for being right since long before you were born.<br />.Ema Nymtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291372077565212886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-66735331840022541002010-12-23T20:52:57.148-05:002010-12-23T20:52:57.148-05:00Sebilius is doing nothing not otherwise happening ...Sebilius is doing nothing not otherwise happening throughout our regulatory structure. The HHS decision highlights a gaping, systemic problem with the operation of our government. We are increasingly coming to resemble a bureacratic socialist state in the mold of the EU – where major policy decisions are made by unelected bureaucrats. It was a year ago that we were treated to the EPA taking a step that Congress refused to do – declare plant food (CO2) a pollutant subject to EPA’s authority to regulate. And now today we have this from Sebilius coming directly on the heels of a decision by the FEC to begin regulation of the internet, an act taken without any sort of authorization from Congress. <br /><br />Possibly the most important step we could take is to require Congress to vote on all federal regulations before they become binding and enforcable. There should never be another power grab by bureaucrats that we, the people, do not have some say in through the ballot box.GWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814327154035433443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-66594795166710636652010-12-23T20:40:34.647-05:002010-12-23T20:40:34.647-05:00It is called governing.
