I think I understand where you are coming from ACC but dont think it applies...In others words DOMA doesnt have to be in relation to the constitution.....................................

I doubt your argument that Federal law is not required to reflect the boundaries of the Constitution has any foundation in constitutional law, TM.

edit: If you can post any clause in the Constitution that allows for such far reaching authority, please post it.

It is my understanding that a federal law cant violate the constitution...but that federal laws dont have to be in relation to the constitution.

Something such as..."Protect xyz tree from becoming extinct" for example would have nothing to do with the Constitution but would not be unconstitutional unless it was shown to violate the constitution.

..................


I didn't ask you about your beliefs......I'm requesting you provide the Constitutional source for creating Federal laws that go beyond the authority of the Constitution.
Since you made the claim that legislators could, please show the clause or clauses in the Constitution that allow for that situation to exist.

It's a fair request.

BTW.....I don't have any interest in collecting rep points, so your present activity of endlessly giving me one red rep after another doesn't bother me :)

And you were just given an example{pages actually}...if you dont understand it,,then dont bitch to me about it.

Let me run it by you again..they can create laws...as long as they are not unconstitutional.
Pretty simple.

You still haven't responded to my request from your claim:

What part of the Constitution allows the US legislature the right to enact Federal Laws that surpass the stated authority of the Constitution?

This is Accountable's argument and you aren't addressing it.

Which part denies it?
You are now claiming its unconstitutional...so show me how it is unconstitutional.

I haven't claimed anything other than Accountable has made a very compelling argument.

Since you are making claims that Congress has the right to pass Federal Law beyond the boundaries of the Constitution, it is reasonable to ask you by what authority does Congress have the right to enact Federal law beyond Constitutional authority.

So....what is the clause in the Constitution that supports your beliefs?

Not at all...you did get some lastnight for being dishonest however in relation to me

I did give linkage to your support of legalized torture and it included Tim's linkage of you illegally torturing someone, TM.......so there was nothing dishonest done by me.
That affair is all on you. :)

What clause prevents it?
I dont have to show it is constitutional...if you claim it isnt then provide documentation.

With your logic...every law etc would have to go to the supreme court...to be deemed to see if it is constitutional.
If you do not understand this.... I suggest you go cut your nuts out and save the world some future grief.

Again...there is no such thing as legalized torture.
My post was very clear..if water boarding was legal..it needs to now be illegal.
You read it and you responded to that post....so therefore you are being dishonest again.
And again I did not torture anyone.
I had a home invader begging me to not call the police.
Dont judge me stone...as you have stated you would torture if it come to you or your family.

No...what clause allows Congress to pass Federal Laws beyond the authority of the Constitution?
You claimed it and I'd like to read the clauses in the Constitution that support your claim.


I suggest you go cut your nuts out
I'll take that as your failure to be able to support your claim.

That's a done deal, TM.


.if water boarding was legal..it needs to now be illegal.
Too late to be making last minute conversions for credibility, TM
You got outed for supporting illegal torture and you have even posted engaging in illegal torture.


as you have stated you would torture if it come to you or your family
Indeed. But I'm honest and forthright about it.
But I do not support legalizing torture nor engage in illegal torture as you have.....big difference.


Dont judge me stone
Then don't make claims you can't back up.

Accountable has made an argument you simply avoid.
You debate out of the convenience of the moment and as shown, make claims you apparently have no intention of backing up.

If the Constitution is not the authority for administering the three branches of our government, what is?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Us_constitution


You keep claiming it isn't....so what is?
Fair question.....you made the claim.
