ROFL! Holding up the Constitution is your argument? Really? Now it's unpatriotic to criticize the Post Office?
Here's a clue for you, moron: The Constitution allows the federal government to run the Post Office. It doesn't require it to run the Post Office. It also doesn't require the federal government to grant a legal monopoly to the Post Office.
Even if the Constitution did require the federal government to run the Post Office, that doesn't make it a good idea.
BTW, Saudi Arabia has a government run Post Office, just like the USA.
Your argument couldn't be more wrong, irrelevant or downright stupid.
I would argue that the federal government MUST operate the post office.
If you read the COTUS it lists certain powers of the federal government and then says all other powers belong to the states or the people. Meaning the POST OFFICE MUST remain with the federal government.
Of course if you read the COTUS that specifically, you must wonder how states are empowered to build roads at all, clearly postal roads are the responsibility of the federal government.
Nope. A "power" is the legal authority to do something. It's not a requirement to do anything.
Oh really? So if I were to say do a little digging around I wouldn't find any postings where you are bitching about Obama not doing anything to defend our southern border?
MMMM I think I would find that you HAVE been bitiching about that.....
That's not a power. It's a legal requirement. Obama swore an oath to uphold the laws of the United States. That includes our immigration laws.
Did you seriously just say that?
Here is the text in reference to both the Postal roads
Section. 8.
The Congress shall have Power
To establish Post Offices and post Roads;
Now if you would be so kind, please point me to the section of the cotus requiring the federal government to prevent people from entering this country.
It doesn't, but Congress passed a law requiring the federal government to do so. Obama is required to enforce all the laws Congress passes.
It's hard to believe anyone could be as stupid as you. These are simple concepts that any retard can understand.
Here's a link to the various immigration laws passed by Congress
List of United States immigration laws - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Feel free to show me which laws the federal government is ignoring and not enforcing.
Oh and before you go around calling anyone retarded, maybe you should reread and that that I never said the federal government wasn't required to do anything about illegal immigration. In fact I said the opposite you idiot. I said the federal government is required both to control immigration AND to run the post office.
In your haste to "prove me wrong" you revealed your illiteracy. Now THAT is funny
You're an even bigger moron than I thought. The federal government is required to obey and enforce all laws passed by Congress. Congress is not required to use a power granted by the Constitution. You don't seem to understand the difference between a Constitutional power and a law passed by Congress. The Postal monopoly is legislation passed by Congress. The Constitution does not require Congress to pass legislation.
It's as simple as that, dumbass.
Now go away because I'm tired of instructing you.
Wait what?
Obey?
The government is not a subject of a piece of paper.
The paper outlines how the government operates. It endows that government with powers to fulfill it's functions. Additionally it is not written in stone, is subject to change and for all intents and purposes? Is a work in progress.
The Congress can make laws. And? This is going to blow your mind. It can CHANGE the Constitution. By DESIGN!
The Constitution isn't a bible. It does not recognize religion as supreme over the laws of men.
Your Anarchist/Monarchist dream isn't going to come true here any time soon.
