Congress Targets Teen Driving, Mulls Federal Driver's License Standards

who are you talking too :D
 
Thanks for providing the post information. Now I will rebuttle each post's main point:

Great I can't wait to destroy your argument.

post #3 (Congress Targets Teen Driving, Mulls Federal Driver's License Standards)[/B]: "Congress lacks the authority to mandate such a law since this isn't a delegated power to the federal government under the Constitution of the United States"- No, Congress has the power to make laws providing for the general welfare for the United States (Article I Section VIII), which is an exception to the 10th Amendment since it is a delegated power..

I give you James Madison on the subject of general welfare.

“If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and its (sic) will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions." James Madison, Letter to Edmund Pendleton, January 21, 1792

"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." James Madison, Letter to James Robertson, April 20, 1831

"That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid that they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them."-James Madison, Virginia Resolution of 1798.

It seems that the author of the Constitution disagrees with your interpretation of the Constitution since the general welfare clause of Article I Section VIII Clause I is a declaratory clause that states the purpose of the entire section and is limited by the powers contained in Sections VIII and IX. Anything not enumerated in the powers delegated falls under the province of the states as per the wording of the Tenth Amendment.

post #8 (Congress Targets Teen Driving, Mulls Federal Driver's License Standards)[/B]: This post is completely irrelevant to anything I have ever posted. My previous point though voids your statement in this post though since it is a delegated power. .
See above.

pro-bipartisan;1058786388[B said:
post #19 (Congress Targets Teen Driving, Mulls Federal Driver's License Standards)[/B]: Again, my delegated power arguement is my rebuttle..
See above.

And my point about having you going back and re-reading all my posts is so you would realize I'm not going to do something you can do yourself.

So you're going to hurl out empty rhetoric without any basis in reality and fact. Great that means I can ignore you from now on.

Once again, learn to read. And the constitution is open to interpretation in case you didn't know. The circumstances and times have changed since the late 1780s. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the way the law is applied isn't always on founders intended it to be used.
 
You already know since you replied to my post.

actually I did not its why I asked the question

I wasn't talking to anybody directly just replying to the OP in general hence me not qouting anyone, thought that would be obvious

anyway like I said

Great Idea for the issue at hand, I LOVE IT!
:applaud

I'm all for this : "The goal is to implement a uniform graduated driver's licensing (GDL) policy across the country and remove the existing disparities."

I can know ignore you now since you've got nothing other than empty rhetoric and opinions.

Then why do you keep posting? You keep contridicting yourself and fail to supply ample evidence for your arguements.
