So, I'll be flagged as a terrorist, I'm sure.
Mainly, the rest of Obama's crap I don't care about. What I'm blogging about is him banning Flavored Cigarettes. I used to smoke those things like normal cigarettes until he decided that "they appeal to the youth" and took my right to smoke them away.
We're now the Supressed States of America. Why do I say this? We're slowly having our rights to things taken away. As mine was when he banned flavored cigarettes. yes, they came back as cigars, but they're not as tastey, and not as good for you. Well, Cigarettes aren't good for you, but you get my drift.
I'm just wondering what other rights will be taken away from us in the future.

Banning certain types of cigarettes...i wonder where that is in the Constitution... Let me have a look.
ReplyDelete...Commerce clause, no...Necessary and Proper, no...Those are the only two that might even stretch a little to fit in cigarette banning. And even then, flavored cigarettes don't have a direct affect on INTERSTATE commerce at all!
I don't see it anywhere. Those damned tyrants will put anything they want to under their umbrella then say it was "for the greater good."
Well, shitballs! Here i was thinking that the Framers wrote the Constitution to protect the INDIVIDUAL from a TOO STRONG GOVERNMENT.
Which, as a matter of fact, it was. It was never written to protect the public. And that part about "general welfare," they weren't talking about our bodies, they were talking about trade! Once more, cigarette banning of any type is NO WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION!!!
I'd like to end with a favorite quote of mine from Justice Sutherland (1934):
"whether the legislation under review is wise or unwise is a matter with which we have nothing to do. Whether it is likely to work well or work ill presents a question entirely irrelevant to the issue. The only legitimate inquiry we can make is whether it is constitutional. If it is not, it's virtues, if it has any, cannot save it; if it is, its faults cannot be invoked to accomplish it's destruction. IF THE PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION BE NOT UPHELD WHEN THEY PINCH AS WELL AS WHEN THEY COMFORT, THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE ABANDONED!
