The left have their own vission for how America ought to develop and they hold
it just as strongly as you hold yours. I doubt either vission is actually
realistic.

And, by the way, these wonderful unemployment and ecconomic figures are on the
same trajectory that they were on in the final months of the Obama presidency,
if anything just slightly slower. The markets are chearful. because they've
been chaffing under the restrictions intended to prevent a repeat of 2008. The
price of a bull market will be more bears down the line, and probably another
crash.

Help me out here -- where is the authority delegated to government to
control unemployment or economic figures?

Seems that we spend a lot of time trying to control either or both of
those, yet I still can't find any such delegated authority... ?

Governments have certain macro-ecomomic levers that can affect such things.
There's often some uncertaintly about how such levers are connected, of course.

Quoting from the restored link:

"Although, among the enumerated powers of Government, we do not find the
word bank or incorporation, we find the great powers, to lay and collect
taxes; to borrow money; to regulate commerce; to declare and conduct a
war; and to raise and support armies and navies [...] a Government
intrusted with such ample powers[...] must also be intrusted with ample
means for their execution. [...] To its enumeration of powers is added
that of making all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying
into execution the foregoing powers."

https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/17/316

Thus, the answer is the Necessary and Proper Clause carrying into
execution the explicitly delegated powers to tax, borrow, regulate
interstate commerce, declare war, and raise and support armies.

Is irrelevant. The USSC has also had no problem with the
clearly-unconstitutional PATRIOT act, so don't give me any of that
shit. Plus, you'll find NOWHERE in the constitution that the USSC is
the sole arbiter of what is and is not constitutional.

The point of the Necessary and Proper is to give Congress the power to

bank fits because it isn't mentioned but is needed to carry into

superfluous: adj. Being beyond what is required or sufficient.

Superfluous with the fact that all power comes from the people. The
statement is not required to be part of the text of the constitution, it
adds nothing, ergo superfluous.

This thereby proves that there are superfluous clause(s) within the
constitution which renders Corley v. United States null and void of meaning.

Under your reading, there isn't a single law which the N&P permits
beyond that which was already permitted by the foregoing powers.
If that were the case, the N&P Clause is a redundancy that can be
stricken from the Constitution.  That can't be the case.
It is a redundancy.  Glad you finally saw the light.
https://nortontooby.com/node/227668
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people.
Isn't 'powers reserved to the people' not a superfluous statement?
Superfluous with what?
 superfluous: adj. Being beyond what is required or sufficient.
Superfluous with the fact that all power comes from the people.  The
statement is not required to be part of the text of the constitution, it
adds nothing, ergo superfluous.
When I refer to a redundancy, I mean the text of the Constitution is
redundant with other text in the Constitution. The text should be
interpreted such that never occurs.

In your interpretation of a redundancy - the text is redundant with the
implied understanding of the Constitution - I think the text stands as
is since it clarifies that implied understanding.
This thereby proves that there are superfluous clause(s) within the
constitution which renders Corley v. United States null and void of meaning.

It doesn't clarify the text, though. Instead of using as a

In short, you daisy-chain multiple clarifying causes to justify an
expansion of power that doesn't exist.

Your expansive interpretation of 'necessary and proper' is misapplied to
the 'general welfare' clause, which is also a clarifying (non-expansive
clause). This is improper.

General welfare is a limitation on the taxing power, it is not a power
in and of itself.

N&P specifically and exclusively applies to /powers/:

"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into
Execution the foregoing Powers,..."

The canonical example is a law that makes it illegal to steal the mail.
That law carries into execution the power to create Post Offices, but is
not authorized by the power to create Post Offices alone.

Your example is flawed, no such authority is delegated. And here is

Consider:

8.5 To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and
fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

8.6 To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and
current Coin of the United States;

If we use your (flawed) rules of application, 8.6 is superfluous as
punishments would be implied by 8.5.

But we know that 8.6 isn't superfluous; rather it is the explicit
delegation of the authority to punish. 8.7 has no such delegation of
authority.

Chief Marshall considered this precise argument in McCulloch:

"The right to enforce the observance of law by punishing its infraction
might be denied with the more plausibility because it is expressly given
in some cases. Congress is empowered to provide for the punishment of
counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States
[...]. The several powers of Congress may exist in a very imperfect
State, to be sure, but they may exist and be carried into execution,
although no punishment should be inflicted, in cases where the right to
punish is not expressly given."

But then Marshall rejects the argument based on Congress's ability to
punish those who steal the mail. This ability is recognized by
consensus (hence my Amazing above).

Note the word "foregoing". Now how does that mean there is the

None of those mention establishing a national bank.

Does necessary mean absolutely necessary or merely beneficial and
conducive? Some instances of "necessary" in the Constitution:

"No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or
Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary
for executing it's inspection Laws."

"[The President] shall [...] recommend to [Congress's] Consideration
such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."

"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it
necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution."

In the first example, necessary means absolutely necessary per the plain
text. But in the other two examples, necessary means beneficial and
conducive. Ditto in the N&P clause. The national bank is beneficial
and conducive to collecting taxes in the same way that laws against mail
theft are beneficial and conducive for establishing Post Offices.

By your argument, the federal government is prohibited from proscribing
the theft of mail, even though doing so carries into execution the power
to establish Post Offices.
Nope. Try again.
Nope to what? Nope, the federal government can't proscribe mail theft?
Or nope, I was wrong and the federal government can proscribe mail theft?

No it's not.
Why not?
You have to show that it is needed/necessary.
Does necessary mean absolutely necessary
Yes.
"[The President] shall [...] recommend to [Congress's] Consideration
such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."

So, the President can only recommend measures that are absolutely necessary?

"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it
necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution."

So, Amendments that were not absolutely necessary are unconstitutional?

There is no such thing as an unconstitutional
amendment. By definition they are part of the

As I explained elsewhere, an amendment that is passed that is based on
an authority that can't (or wasn't) delegated isn't law and can't be
constitutional. It may be in the text of the constitution, but it isn't
enforceable and therefore unconstitutional.

For example, suppose the following amendment were ratified:

"All armed males shall be put to death without trial."

A) No such authority exists with the people, no such authority can be
delegated to government.

B) Any such amendment is therefore null and void, without meaning,
application or justified power to execute.

C) It may be included as part of the text of the constitution for a
period of time...

D) ... but the armed males would rise up and revolt and overthrow the
government and revise or create an alternate constitution, at which
point the amendment is no longer include in the text of the constitution.

Arguing that such an amendment is constitutional makes about as much
sense as arguing that a mugger is a nice person because he smiled at you
as he beat you into submission and took your belongings. He is NOT a
nice person, and it is NOT a constitutional amendment.

Have a nice day.

"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it
necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution."
So, Amendments that were not absolutely necessary are
unconstitutional?
Strictly speaking, YES!
Amazing!
What is the constitutionality of an amendment that is not necessary?
Necessary cam mean beneficial, convenient or useful.  For example,
the 25th Amendment is not absolutely necessary but having a
President appoint a new Vice President is useful.
I remain hopeful you don't believe the 25th Amendment is
unconstitutional because it is not absolutely necessary.
It is necessary.
Absolutely necessary?  How so?  We can get along without it.  Not as
well as we would with it, but we can get along.
I said necessary, and I meant necessary.  Arguing that it is necessary
or absolutely necessary is pointless as the text states necessary, and
that is sufficient for the purposes of this discussion.
Whether "necessary" means "absolutely necessary" or "beneficial,
convenient or useful" makes all the difference in the analysis.

You sure seem content to declare that necessary means whatever you want
in the context of the N&P clause.

Now you advocate that we need to have a common agreement on what
necessary means when you feel the constriction?

No, only if the are necessary. Unnecessary amendments are included in
the constitution, to be sure, but they are not constitutionally
justified, ergo not constitutional.

Further, amendments that are passed but that are based on an authority
not delegated are similarly unconstitutional.

You didn't read or answer my question. Try again. Here's a
hypothetical that you can answer if you get stuck:

Suppose that the president issues an executive order to amend the
constitution to change presidential terms to 25 years and the congress
signs it into law (simple majority) and the amendment is added, thereby
modifying the constitution.

Is that amendment constitutional?

Help me out here -- where is the authority delegated to
government to control unemployment or economic figures?
Governments have certain macro-ecomomic levers that can affect such
  things. There's often some uncertaintly about how such levers are
connected, of course.
(Unjust) Governments certainly usurp power over and/or manipulate
such levers, but that doesn't answer the question: where is the
authority delegated?
When it comes to a national bank...
Where is the authority to establish a national bank?
Did you read the link?
    You didn't answer the question.
"Although, among the enumerated powers of Government, we do not find the
word bank or incorporation, we find the great powers, to lay and collect
taxes; to borrow money; to regulate commerce; to declare and conduct a
war; and to raise and support armies and navies [...] a Government
intrusted with such ample powers[...] must also be intrusted with ample
means for their execution. [...] To its enumeration of powers is added
that of making all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying
into execution the foregoing powers."
https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/17/316
Thus, the answer is the Necessary and Proper Clause carrying into
execution the explicitly delegated powers to tax, borrow, regulate
interstate commerce, declare war, and raise and support armies.
By implication, a bank, exercising its necessary and proper powers can
therefore tax, borrow, regulate interstate commerce, declare war, and
raise and support armies.

Chase, et alii, will be thrilled with that news.

Yeah, I read some if it. Mostly hogwash, and it didn't answer the
question either.

Funny how the simplest questions are some of the hardest to answer.

Seriously, have you ever stopped to think that you are flat out wrong?

I presume that you haven't.

Try it.

Conclusion: the authority to establish a national bank was not and has
not been delegated to the federal government.

Now that we've put a bullet in the head of that, we can return to my
/original/ question:

"where is the authority delegated to government to control unemployment
or economic figures?"

Yeah, go and dance with that one for a while, you will still be wrong.
Those authorities aren't delegated either.

It must suck to be you: wrong on so many levels. Oh well, we still love
you just the same, Rosie.

government to control unemployment or economic figures?
Governments have certain macro-ecomomic levers that can affect such
 things. There's often some uncertaintly about how such levers are
connected, of course.
(Unjust) Governments certainly usurp power over and/or manipulate
such levers, but that doesn't answer the question: where is the
authority delegated?
When it comes to a national bank...
Where is the authority to establish a national bank?

Yeah, I read some if it.  Mostly hogwash, and it didn't answer the

Taxing power is to be used exclusively to pay for the debts and provide
for the common defense and general welfare of the United States. There
is no subsequent provision, explicit nor implied, that authorizes the
establishment of a national bank.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!

COIN is the operative word.

The fed--which didn't exist until 1913--only tells the
treasury to PRINT notes. Not COIN money.

Big difference.

That is not a national bank.

And just so that we are all clear here, when we say 'national bank' we
are talking about an institution that controls the flow, distribution
and availability of money.

The left have their own vission for how America ought to develop and they hold

And, by the way, these wonderful unemployment and ecconomic figures are on the
same trajectory that they were on in the final months of the Obama presidency,
if anything just slightly slower. The markets are chearful. because they've
been chaffing under the restrictions intended to prevent a repeat of 2008. The

Damn straight it is vague. So vague that it doesn't even exist.

OK, that's one dead: no authority to control unemployment.

Next: where is the authority delegated to government to control economic
figures?

Well, that's pretty irrelevant since governments are incapable of directly
controlling unemployment. When they use the levers of macroeccocomics, like tax
rates and interest rates they may _hope_ that it will affect unemployment, or
then again they may not give a damn.

Oh bullshit. When a law is created which mandates a price

cause unemployment.
