Yeah, that's where the Constitution is displayed. What's your point?
I really hope English is not your native language. If it is I weep for your sarcasm detection ability.i really hope you are not an american, if you are i weep for our education and history classes.
That's my favorite part of the Constitution."Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"
Auto insurance is mandated by state law as a condition to exercise the privilege of operating a motor vehicle. Anyone that does not wish to purchase auto insurance can do so by not owning and operating a motor vehicle on public highways. This is the same premise as implied consent for alcohol testing when operating a motor vehicle you agree to by obtaining a drivers license from the state.

Seems we got not only the hungry and the poor but a bunch of muddled hasses.

Can your government make you carry a firearm or be financially punished?

Never made it to court to find it if was constitutional or not.
He was not perfect. He made errors like everyone else.
You act like they all agreed. Did you know Rhode Island refused to sign the Constitution until into the 1790s?
The founders were not the Borg.
Only if you have a reliable Ouija board.So there is no original intent of the Founders?

Even Scalia thinks original intent is moronic.
True, but what is even more interesting is that you know where he was right and where he was in error, while at the same time admit to no errors. If I were to weight in on this, I'd say you're full of shit compared to Washington.
Ummm, that's his point. Nowhere is the language you posted enshrined in law. It's engraved on a statue. If there was a statue in Mississippi with some claptrap about the south rising again, does that make it a national aspiration?
