Constitutional Question

[BerettaGuy]

Remember the 55 MPH Federal Mandate? I was in college at the time. We were told then, that the Federal Government did not have the authority to dictate to an individual. So they could not "dictate" that an individual must not drive faster than 55 MPH. What they did, was threaten the states with withholding highway tax revenue unless they lowered the speed limit. So, they did and the rest is history.
Now when did all of this change?
The Federal Government executive branch office of the President which is head of the "Executive Branch" of an equal third of the Government is making mandates.
WTF! I know the "Patriot Act" which I am totally against, changed a lot of schidt but again, WTF.
BRANDON is dictating that corporations (of which the US Government is one) become vaccination Police/Gestapo.
Let's hope other corporations, (of which the US Government is one with a monopoly of violence) start standing up and saying No way, Brandon!

Haven't you seen the lines from the funeral homes!
People are dropping like flys in December, "Oh the humanity", we need to IV drip the boosters on anyone that leaves from their home.
Until this most deadly sickness of all time is fully controlled we must put all rights on hold! Close every business, hospital, school, you name it.
Sounds like a raving, come on man you know the thing, only this is what we see and hear 24/7.

The 55 mandate was not a Federal law.

It was a condition put on any state that wanted our Federal tax money to be used to pave their own roads.

It's exactly the reason that the founders had all Federal taxes charged against and paid by the States, not individuals, to prevent such extortion.
16th and 17th Amendments seriously ended the "States" in this country.

“Vaccines remain our best tool to fight this disease and come out of the pandemic,” the Health Department spokesperson wrote. “Vaccination is particularly important in a public indoor setting where groups of people are gathering and removing their masks, factors that make it easier for the virus to spread.”

Based on your opinion and pseudo science!

Yep! as I see ambulances racing down the roads every 10 minutes checking in Covid patients.

I read the NY Gun Forum posts by the light of the Funeral Fires. It's almost medieval.

Both are abominations and should be revoked.

In today's world when you hear "follow the science" the true translation is follow the political science.

The 55 MPH thing is pretty much done. Most states are 65 or higher on the interstates. Secondary roads are normally 55 or below.

 

[fresch]

I will say I get better mileage not running at 75 mph.

I'm not anti 55, I am anti 55 mandate. But then there are times with I don't care about my milage.

I guess I worded it poorly. The question is not about 55 MPH is it about Presidential Mandates.

"Follow the science" has taken its rightful place right next to, "Common sense laws" and "If it saves just one life."

Arizona did not participate.

They told the feds to fuck off, they could keep their highway money.

I like Arizona

I had no idea! Its a solution that I thought I came up with on my own…brilliant as I am. Rather disappointing that a few old dudes from back in the day beat me to the punch…without the internet!

I say, go back to the states collecting and paying all fees to the feds, not us directly.

It'd solve a chunk of overreach.

"Oh, you'll give us $100 mil to pave our own roads? We'll just deduct that from the tax burden we're paying you."
Not a damned thing the Feds could do about it.

Yes, obviously the people who think the world isn't ending in 10 years if you don't give all your money to the government are being taken to the cleaners....
