I've read many of your posts before but have never gotten into a discussion, argument, debate or whatever with you because, frankly, I don't know a hell of a lot about the stuff about which you frequently post.
And 'tis better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.
But, I have to interject here and say that simply because Jefferson and Madison are credited with those quotes does not mean that what they said is written into the Constitution. If the quotes are a part of the Constitution, then all I've done is effectively shown my ignorance about this particular issue.
Still, I'm fairly confident that the framers didn't address a lot of the stuff that is now provided for by promulgation, Supreme Court decision or whatever else. Thus, I'm going to have to say that it seems a lot like Congress has carte blanche to do what it wants provided it's not expressly forbidden by the Constitution.
But what do I know?
