They can. The issue is people want everything to be federal and ignore their own state. Most Americans can't even tell you what the first article of their own state's constitution is about. Or their own state house rep.

The elderly population has greater healthcare spending per cap than the 20-30 year old population. Getting old sucks.

The conservatives justices (if you buy into the whole conservative/liberal justices thing) would 100% be eager to up hold a state healthcare law if it meant getting to strike down Wickard v. Filburn and allocating more power to the states.

But thanks for being at least one person in this thread who appreciates that Medicare and Medicaid are not synonyms.

There is irony in making someone with your name explain themselves

Since when is it illegal to sell tritium in the US? Gun companies selling tritium glow in the dark sights all the time.

America and Americans broadly do not respect "international law" as an idea. We don't vote for representatives in a UN House of Reps or UN Senate. And if we did why would we wish to be beholden to a majority rules vote when that majority combined might be inferior militarily.

America tolerates international law when it doesn't interfere with our course.

The idea of a "one world government" is treated as a fringe tin hat conspiracy theory nonsense that no one is advocating for.

Every year about 8,000 people file their cases for cert at the Supreme Court. Each year they grant cert on about 80. Roughly 1/1000 odds. Those about 8,000 cases include cases that have also previously filed in past years without cert.

Amicus briefs are not uncommon. They often don't grant cert when there are no novel legal questions. The Supreme Court simply doesn't not have the ability to hear every appeal. Them not granting cert in any case should not be taken as a dispositive.

In 21/50 you need a license.

Of the videos that have popped up in my algorithm I haven't seen any Canada hate. If anything maybe some Mexico hate, he had a video essentially asking for a NAFTA 3.0 where we kick Mexico out of the deal so they don't drag down US-CA relations w/ border politics. But half of his videos seem to be more on culture things like food or flags. Are there any particular anti-canada vids you have in mind?

Can't comment on the fake accent though never met him. Could be an act.

Assuming you're from Canada based on the .CA and says provinces (vs oblasts, cantons, or some other regional division), I would point at the interprovincial trade barriers.

Makes a sense in a pre-industrial pre-citizenship world. The broad idea is that you establish that the people voting on things are members of the community to be impacted. That way you don't have transient people impacting the outcomes of elections.

The real question is why the hell is a governor engaging in international trade or diplomacy? Art. 1 Sec 8.

You realize that between the states the US has all of those?

This was my understanding as well

College students can be eligible for SNAP & HUD.

Well said. A sober look at the lives of these people often reveals a sad truth.

9/10 sovereign citizens are victims. 1/10 are charlatans selling a fiction to those in dire need of a way out of legal trouble.

Yeah that doesn't solve the issue of planting a bomb, though.

"Your honor my client was only engaged in economic terrorism" is not a good excuse.
