re: #294 Mich-again

And sometimes they are just plain stupid about it. Like when Rand Paul says there is no basis in the Constitution for a Federal TSA because the Constitution never mentioned airplanes and so by default any jurisdiction relating to airplanes is reserved to the States.

Section. 8.

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States

Everything the wingnuts scream about not being in the Constitution are covered by that statement right there.
