Marbury vs Madison Not unconstitutional.SJConspirator » 30 Dec 2021, 5:26 pm » wrote: ↑ The Constitution was routinely violated after 1913. A short list of things in the U.S. that blatantly Violate the Constitution
Marbury vs Madison (judicial review)
creation of the Federal Reserve
the Patriot Act
every war since 1960 ( Congress declares war, not the president according to the Constitution)
Citizens United ruling
the fact that we keep a standing army at all is against the Constitution if it is longer than 2 years
Article I, Section 8, Clause 12: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years; . .
the constant appeals to a document that has been basically ignored for a century is pretentious and laughable
Patriot Act Yes I think this went beyond the confines of the Constitution
Every war since 1960. This too is not unconstitutional.
Citizens United. I agree with the opinion of the court. The decision was a compromise and IMHO struck a good balance.
"the fact that we keep a standing army at all is against the Constitution if it is longer than 2 years"
This is not a correct assessment of S1 A8 C12. Read it again and also read the entire section.
