[QUOTE]Originally posted by HMS White Star: [QB] Seriously who's Mongo? Ok this doesn't sound like a Republican vs. Democrat this is much older like a Federal Supremicacy vs. States Rights, or a Federalist vs. a Republican (or Democrat, or Republican-Democrat, they changed there names really quickly). So this is a very old agruement much, much older than anyone here (even Baloo [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG]). I can't say I really agree with Omega, his strict interpretation would make it very difficult to do much of anything, anyway the Congress can basically create what laws it needs to govern the nation. Section 6 clause 18, To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof. Omega said "What the founding fathers intended is irrelevant. It's what they SAID when they wrote the constitution that matters. The text of the constitution is all that matters, and we have to go by it, not their intentions." As strange as that originally sounded, that is completely true, we can't go by what the founding fathers intended only by what they wrote down, however that doesn't mean we can interprete what the Constitution means in the current environment that the founding fathers would could never dreamed (of course the past is also a lot like the future, so they could have dreamed of some of it). Anyway the Supreme Court has long ignored the actual thoughts of the founding fathers and would rather support earilier Supreme Courts compared to what the Founding Fathers might have or might not have thought. All one can judge is deeds and actions, not thoughts. [/QB][/QUOTE]
