re: #332 RogueOne

You aren’t making an argument, you’re parsing words where it’s unneeded. You believe the government has the authority to force us to associate with people we choose not to but you can’t say where that authority is derived.

Sure I can. The general welfare clause and the 14th amendment both apply. Mostly the general welfare clause. It’s exactly what it was meant for.

That’s fine. Ace is the only one to admit the government only has that authority because we allowed it.

Here’s a good one:

What do you think the general welfare clause is actually for? What power does it actually give?
