You can't stop people from blatantly robbing stores, breaking in cars, and defecating on the street. What made you think that psychedelics were such a concern that the needed to be intervened in? They may as well have patted themselves on the back and legalized everything, because it's happening anyways.
The mere situation where they vehemently insist that sporting clubs are a "well organized militia" shows how far it has diverged from anything resembling reality.
you may want to educate yourself on the wording "well regulated militia" Because you are not using it in the proper context. Heres a hint. it has nothing to do with government regulations, and everything to do with owning guns in working order.
Now you're going to tell me that a pressure regulator is designed to keep things regular and in working order.
You should ask them about the modern mouse cursor (as opposed to a Missile-Command style crosshair, overlapping windows, windows with shadows, identifying icons, you know all the stuff the Xerox PARC didn't have.
1) Because the Constitution is not nearly as restrictive as Ron Paul would have us believe. It does enumerate a number of specific powers, but adds "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers" which allows for much latitude to what is allowed to do.
2a) because there is no violation.
2b) because requiring an amendment (which requires several years at a minimum to pass) for the normal day-to-day actions of the Congress, which so gridlock the national government, as to force to destruction. (IOW, Why do you hate America?)
What are the qualifications of necessary?
How does this not fall in line with enumerated powers? That's like saying "you" (the government) have the right to drive a car and therefore have the right to put gas in it, not that "you" (the government) have the right to disobey traffic laws.
An Amendment could be completed in 15 minutes in the modern era, it likely wouldn't due to the varying natures of state legislatures, but your statement is a blatant exaggeration.
Also for thousands of years the "national" government merely collected taxes for war, regional governors maintained basic functions of government. So it isn't like national gridlock really does much of anything, if anything the national legislature has been in gridlock for it's entire history. Even before the Capitol Building was completed the federalists and antifederalists were still at each others throats. Hell, Judicial Review was a product of the tenions of the era.
Many people are unenthusiastic about their work.
