There would be plenty of benefits to bank robbery as well, if it weren't for that pesky thing called the law. That's what the Constitution is, and why those who ignore and usurp it should be charged or expelled from the legislature. Every one of them take an oath to preserve and defend the Constitution (the law) and precious few of them actually take that oath seriously.

Because it was written so long ago there's an unfortunate amount of interpretation that is necessary.

We agree.. but it's irrelevant and a tiny drop in the federal spending bucket. That's why I give zero shits about it.. it's just hand waving to distract from actual issues like military spending and entitlements.

And bullshite again on the tiny drop in federal spending comment. It’s billions of dollars. I’m fine with spending less on the military, but I’ll be damned if I will support cuts to the military when we are spending mountains of money on people who are here illegally, and foreign aid to countries who hate us so much they want us all dead.
