The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people.

In United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995), a federal law was struck down because there was no clause in the Constitution authorizing it.

IF THIS IS THE SUPREME COURTS RULING, WTF?
How can the FEDERAL Gov. withhold funding from the STATES if they don't bow down?

The Shiite-led government's security forces, trained by the United States, proved immediately incapable of dealing with the sectarian violence in Balad, or, in many cases, abetted it"

Seems that moderates and independents will be voting for democrats, on account of the war in Iraq. WIll we see some time lines laid out in the next couple of weeks? Will the democratic party win without having to build their party? Did the republicans miss their opportunity to garner these votes from the third parties? What will the republicans have to do to keep the presidency?

They have resumed whaling, and done so against the wishes the rest of the civilised world. Should all EU member countries and individual citizens show their displeasure at this move by stopping all trade and all travel to these rogue states?

In the Ohio governor's race, Ken Blackwell (R) is facing Strickland (D). Blackwell is the current Ohio Secretary of State and trailing Strickland by 20 points in the polls. Facing this possible defeat, Blackwell has found a technicality to have Strickland's name thrown off the ballot, which would leave Blackwell running unopposed. It would be up the the Ohio Secretary of State's office to make the final decision as to whether or not Strickland's name remains on the ballot. Blackwell claims there is no conflict of interest. Right!

The FDA declared GE foods to be safe in the face of broad disagreement from its own experts -- all the while claiming an overwhelming scientific consensus supported its stance.

Evidence shows the agency flagrantly violates the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which mandates that new food additives be demonstrated safe through testing before they are marketed. While the FDA admits that bioengineered organisms fall under this provision, it claims they are exempt from testing because they are "generally recognized as safe", even though their own scientists disagree.

Every genetically engineered food in the U.S. is on the market illegally and should be recalled for rigorous safety testing. The FDA has deliberately unleashed a host of potentially harmful foods onto American dinner tables in blatant violation of U.S. law. AND YOU DONT GET TO KNOW WHICH FOODS THEY ARE.
