I agree it is not a matter of semantics and it goes to the heart of the issue. It is like the tea party and people from outside of my state telling us who will represent my state's best interest. It is my Senator and Delaware's Senator and nobody else's business.
And I am personally tired...
I have a ton of guns and had them for years. Though I don't get to the range that much. And I am a life member of the NRA.
So all of the disclosure is done.
I personally am not who is extreme on the subject and I can understand both sides of the debate.
I think you need to separate...
So he died during wartime? Yes, it is also something they do for dependents of totally disabled veterans. My wife and duaghter both receive it.
The issue becomes your age. You would have to be under 26 or 25. And if you are then yes it is 925.00 a month if you are a fulltime student. It is...
If you have very little experience I would suggest getting a book over random web tutorials. I personally don't have a book in mind for java. But I am sure someone here will.
devshed is a good site, but not for starting out.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

I am not arguing. And you already said that you don't believe in the Constitution. So not sure what point you are trying to make.
And no it is not a charter. Simple as that. I know the group that makes that argument because it is the key to their premise. But it is wrong. The US...
Well it is the point of the most drama, that is for sure. But the issue still remains that any amendment can expand the powers of the federal government, and deny specific state's rights. Plus the never ending fight over states rights vs federal laws.
The state's rights compromise was...
Congress can pass any law they like.
The supreme court's job is to deem laws unconstitutional.
And if congress amends the constitution, they can grant themselves more power than originally stated.
I know the oath rather well. I took it.
And amending the constitution is part of...
Also, while we are at it. You have to take the Constitution in its totality and not piecework. Each amendment is binding. So once congress and the states agree on an amendment, it is a done deal. Even the Supreme court has no say in it at that point.
Yes Congress does. There are specific duties that lie with Congress and no other branch, and there are specific power prohibited. But they have wide powers to pass pretty much any law. Whether the Supreme Court rules it unconstitutional is another matter.
If the president and congress...
Call me crazy, but given the fact that I have spent my life protecting and defending the Constitution, I tend to be a stickler for what it means. And what I have given up the better part of my life for.
100 years ago it was Okay for our government to let disabled vets starve to death...
