Constitutional? Are you jackin' me Fred?

Constitutional? Are you jackin' me Fred?

''The bottom line is that under the strict interpretation of the wording of the Constitution the expanded questions, like do you rent, mortgage, or own your home outright, are outside the constitutional authority of the government. But they have passed the law, constitutional or not, that empowers them to do so.'' Many of you by now have received your 2010 Census form in the mail and have waded through the questions. I must admit I was braced for much more intrusive questions but was still wondering why the federal government needs to know whether I own or rent the dwelling I am inhabiting and how that allows them to ascertain my states representation.
On the very front of the envelope it states “U.S. Census Form Enclosed YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW.” And I thought to myself, oh really? If the central government is defined by the constitution and all other powers are reserved to the states or to the people (10th Amendment) where do they get their power to go beyond that?
So I did a bit of research and this is what I found:
Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution states: “The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.”
The word enumeration means to count or list one after another. The clause further defines the reason for ascertaining this number and that is to determine the number of representatives for each state and for the purposes of apportionment of direct taxes. And the definition of Census simply means “a complete enumeration of a population.” But I guess Census was easier; after all who wants to go around saying enumeration all day? http://www.newswithviews.com/LeMieux/michael118.htm

''Remember, John McCain has been the politician who has tormented us for a long time – all of those who love freedom, limited government, the Constitution and the rule of law. He didn't just cast bad votes. He insulted us. He embraced Teddy Kennedy's ideas. He formed the Gang of 14 to defeat President Bush's best judges.''

''What is the Democratic Party today? It is the party of left-wing socialism, dumbed-down public education, defeat in Iraq, amnesty for illegal aliens, abortion on demand, gay marriage, more taxes for everyone, bans on oil drilling and "change you can believe in?" As the French say, "plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose," the more it changes, the more it's the same thing.''
