If the States all decided they wanted to ban free speech and private ownership of guns, they could easily pass a new Amendment completely overturning the 1st and 2nd. The only reason this doesn't happen is that it'd be extemely unpopular and because it's really hard to get all the States to agree on Constitutional changes, which of course was the intent of the Founders when they devised the Amendment process.)

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Jesus you are fucking stupid. You are so fucking stupid that you should be shot in the fucking head for writing something this stupid. Go read the Wikipedia article on "Substantive Due Process" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substantive_due_process The useless racists in the southern states tried this shit back in the 1960s when they said that state laws overrode federal laws in matters relating to desegregation, interracial marriage and the like and the federal government said "Wrong fucking answer and in one case even sent in federal troops (Little Rock, AK, 1957) to get the point across. God you're fucking stupid.

Wrong libertarian douchetard. Read Article I, section 10.

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

Oh goody, a fucknut with the user name of RKBA, which probably stands for "Right to Keep and Bear Arms" lecturing us on the Constitution. Hey fucknut. Why don't you read the entire document? If you ever did that, and didn't just spend all of your time masturbating over the second amendment you might have come across this portion of the document in Article I, Section 10.

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

So according to this section of the Constitution Congress can consent to grant states the ability to tax imports and exports from that state, and by imports and exports the founding fathers meant not just commerce with foreign countries but commerce with other states. Right now online merchants have a huge and unfair advantage over brick and mortar merchants because they can set up in states without sales taxes and then sell to residents of states that have sales taxes without collecting any taxes. Why don't you do us all a favor you ignorant son-of-a-whore and take one of your guns, jam it into your mouth as far as you can and blow your fucking head off.

Then why don't you leave America, Libertarian douchetard? Go Galt and head off to magickal libertarian Jesus freemarketopia where there is no evil government to tax and destroy. At the very least you should give up on using the internet, which was developed by the Department of Defense and resolve to never again use GPS or to drive on public roads or highways or to use any other service provided by government since every time you do so you are implicitly giving them consent to pay for these services with taxes.

The Constitution was not written with words and phrases having only the meaning stated in the dictionary. The Constitution is a governing document very similar to a power of attorney, and the phrases and terms used should first be considered from what the ratifiers considered them to mean.

Cool story bro. Tell us, who died and left made you the authoritative scholar as to what the original intent of the founders was. Do you have access to the same Magickal Jeezus Originalist Dictionary of Constutional intent that Antonin Scalia does?

Yes, don't just go leaping for the clitoris like a bull at the gate.

NEEDZ MOAR HITLER!

How are news sites paid? Advertising. How much you get paid for a specific ad depends upon how many people click on it. If you want to sell lots of advertising it helps to have lots of page views. Think about this, a troll posts an idiotic comment, say 90 percent of the comments made about President Obama over the last five years or 99 percent of anything coming out of the mouths of Republicans or their buttboys, the Libertarians. Other readers jump on the troll and tell him what a fucking idiot he is, and every time they do so it counts as a page view. Sure, it's sleazy and contemptible, but it brings in the bucks the way that the old "letters to the editor" section of your local newspaper ever did, and if there's anything that the advent of the internet has done it's completely kick the shit out of the advertising supported content model used by newspapers, radio and television.

Motor sport racing, while silly on a lot of levels (NASCAR especially) requires quite a bit of athleticism from it's participants. YOU try to muscle a 5000 pound vehicle at close proximity to others going close to 200 mph for several hours. YOU probably couldn't get the thing out of the garage without having a heart attack. Ignorant Bozo.

I have done that fuckhead, it's called "driving on the Autobahn" and it's a Hell of a lot more difficult than driving on a NASCAR track, especially the first weekend of August when everyone in Germany decides to go on vacation. Only worthless fucking retards think that NASCAR is in any way, shape or form an athletic event.

The same place you would have been if Yucca Mountain had opened you fucking stupid right-wing cunt. Yucca Mountain was never going to be used to store waste from Hanford. Oh, and by the way you stupid piece of shit it's not like any of the Republicans in Nevada were all that thrilled about Yucca Mountain either. John Ensign, the Republican Senator from Nevada worked just as hard to kill Yucca Mountain as Harry Reid did. Not that I'd expect a useless, good for nothing, ignorant, lying piece of right-wing trash such as yourself to do some basic research before posting your crap. Try googling "Yucca Mountain, Senator John Ensign" and see what comes up.

Because the whole fucking Hanford reservation is near a river, the Columbia, and it was put there for several reasons. One was that they needed a lot of electricity for the separation plants that separated plutonium from uranium after it had been processed through a reactor and Hanford is just down the road from Grand Coulee and a few other dams that produce lots of electricity. Another was that they needed lots of water to cool the reactors. Yet another was that Hanford was out in the middle of fucking nowhere so if something bad happened and scattered a lot of radioactive crap around it wouldn't affect too many people.
