It would also be interesting to go over that list and see if those, who were listed, are still in the same business and if they have acquired other kinds of businesses. /BAH

This may be splitting hairs but it's so important that our whole society is based on it. Congress can make any damn law they want. The checks and balances in the Constitution allow the Supreme Court to declare the law unconstitutional. Not illegal but not allowed using the Constitution as a metric. /BAH

But I can >be wrong. hmm...That could create havoc. I can already think of four messes to make using that delay to my advantage. Is there a reason they allowed the law to stand while the change is getting written? What happens if the lawmakers defy your constitution and don't change the law? Does it still stand or do the two bodies have a duel? /BAH |
