Does anyone else find it absurd that a branch of the federal government, The Supreme Court, has the ultimate say on whether what the federal government does is or is not constitutional? Can one really expect to sue the Federal government in federal courts and expect an objective decision? Why would the states which created the federal government rest the ultimate interpretation of the constitution in the hands of the entity they drew up a constitution to strictly limit?


Can you imagine having a disagreement with any business, say Apple, and agreeing to have the disagreement decided by employees of Apple and expect a fair and objective decision? Most likely not. Likewise I cannot see how Americans stand for the idea that a branch of the federal government in the Supreme court should have the final say of what is constitutional especially when one of the parties being challenged (like in Obamacare) is the federal government. 

PS where in the consitution does it say the final and ultimate decision maker of what is constitutional is the supreme court?

Ron Paul's foreign policy critics

Ron Paul gets more support from the military than all other candidates combined! Remember that when people knock Ron Paul on foreign policy. The troops actually doing the fighting support him more than anyone else!

Contradiction in the Constitution

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." -The 13th amendment of the US Constitution

Taxation of one's income, and forcibly removing whatever percent, in effect means that the portion of that individuals labor, represented by the income earned and subsequently seized by the government, puts the taxpayer in the position of indentured servant to the government.

If one agrees with this line of reasoning, then regardless of the fact that the 16th amendment authorized congress to lay and collect taxes on income from any source, is in direct contradiction with a clear understanding of the 13th amendment. If taxation of income puts the taxpayer in the position of indentured servant, and the 13th amendment clearly outlaws indentured servitude, then both the 16th amendment and the 13th amendment cannot coexist to any rational thinker. Think about that.
