Wow. That is totally impressive. Wish it could be posted on Fox News online or something. But they probably wouldn't understand the timing or source of it.
No
Slavery was not either.
But it it was referred to. As in government had the right to regulate it. Property escaped to another State would not result in that property being freed.
So how archaic do you think the cons ution can be Mr. 2nd amendment?

We already have an example of the Dems (LBJ) not standing up to the Repugs when he discovered that the Repugs were scuttling the Paris peace talks, which lead to the prolongation of the VN war and many 1000s of US and VN dead. LBJ was furious, but didn't expose Richard Nixon for the slimy, corrupt bas he was.
Repugs then figured they could pull all kinds of (like St Ronnie's gang telling the Iranians to hold the hostage until St Ronnie was elected in return for no US retaliation for the Embassy seizure), and the Dems would let is slide.
Barry and Harry absolutely have to Never Give An Inch on ACA and force the smash-mouth Repugs to total defeat.
Extremely arcaic, but that wasn't my point.
Strawman. No one said their tactic was uncons utional. Unpatriotic? Absolutely. The reference to the cons ution in the piece cited was in reference to the passing of and cons utionality of the ACA. You just hear the word cons ution and get a conservative boner - "what they're doing is not uncons utional...not that I agree with it." Typical ing pussy.
Th'Puther is a bit grumpy this morning. Is someone a government worker out of work today?
the Cons ution isn't the ONLY law of the land.
Is the budget Cons ional?
Is the federal debt limit, raised 19 TIMES under dubya, Cons utional?
Here's a question as irrelevant as yours: is it good-faith democracy for the minority party to block the majority party AND federal law just because they know it will hurt them politically? Elections have consequences.

Judge Napolitano: Obama Wants Shutdown to Be as Painful as Possible
Judge Andrew Napolitano stopped by Fox & Friends to discuss the controversy surrounding WWII vets being denied entry into the D.C. memorial due to the government shutdown. Then again, the judge pointed out that the shutdown hasn't stopped surveillance operations at the NSA.
With some help from members of Congress, the elderly vets eventually did bypass the barricades, but Napolitano believes President Obama wanted this shutdown because it helps him politically.
Like with the sequester, Napolitano said the Obama administration wants the shutdown to be as painful as possible, and has the ability to "increase the pain or decrease the pain" on the American people.

Judge Napolitano?ugly says as ugly is. same swith Scalia.
And with a name like Napolitinao or Scalia are these assholes Real Americans? sounds hyphenated to me!
Fox Repug Propaganda network?
You Can't Be Serious to expect such a source and your post to be taken seriously.
1. Repugs CAUSED the shutdown, using it as pressure on Dems to kill or hurt ACA.
2. the vets BROKE THE LAW by visiting a govt site CLOSED BY THE REPUGS' shutdown, not closed by the Dems. I thought you right-wingers were strong on law enforcement, fundamentally for applying the law to everybody? IT'S THE LAW!
3. Dems are not folding, they are returning returning the shutdown pressure back onto the Repugs, who can open the govt with clean CR vote any time they want to.
4. The Repugs voted for the sequester and CAUSED, PROLONG THE SHUTDOWN, but it's only the DEMs who cause pain?
WATCH: You’ll Almost Feel Bad For RNC Chairman Reince Priebus After This Smackdown
It has become the question of the day: What do Republicans want from the government shutdown?
MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts took this question directly to Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus Thursday morning — and Priebus struggled to find a coherent answer.
Instead, he said they can’t know what they want because the president won’t negotiate.
When that didn’t work, Priebus attacked the host for using “talking points” and said he felt as he were debating the chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Then he blasted the problems with the rollout of the Affordable Care Act health care exchanges.
Roberts referenced reports from conservative media and Tea Partiers that the far-right group is keeping Speaker Boehner from passing a bill to fund the government.
“It’s not Tea Party tactics,” Priebus rebutted. “This is what the American people want.”
However, Obamacare, the chairman didn’t note, is far more popular than the government shutdown, which more Americans blame on House Republicans than anyone else.
Roberts also earned extra points for apparently becoming the first human being in history to ever pronounce “Reince” correctly.
After this appearance and a possibly even worse smackdown on Morning Joe last year, you probably shouldn’t expect to ever see Priebus on MSNBC again.

The great government shut down of 2013
by James Buchanan
A Yahoo news article reports “The federal government officially shut down for the first time in 17 years at midnight on Monday, after House Republicans refused to drop demands that parts of the Affordable Care Act be delayed in return for approval of a mandatory government funding bill.”
“Federal employees who are considered essential to public safety will be expected to work this week. But most federal offices will be closed until Congress reaches a deal. The shutdown is the first one of its kind since 1996, when the government closed for 26 days under President Bill Clinton.”
Most White Americans of course couldn’t care less whether the federal government shuts down, and more than a few people on the right-wing and in libertarian circles would like to see the government shut down become permanent. Admittedly some non-essential federal government workers will be put through the wringer and may have to take out short-term loans, but the last big government shut down only lasted a month, and they know their monetary problems are only temporary compared to the 9.5 million American workers, whose jobs have disappeared completely during Obama’s four years and eight months in office.
The federal government is supposed to protect the borders of the US which it has deliberately failed to do under Obama and it’s supposed to protect us from attacks from foreign countries which it has repeatedly failed to do as our immigration service let in the 19 “911 hijackers” not to mention the two Chechen militants, who set off the bombs at the Boston Marathon and a long list of other disgruntled Third World people, including the family of Nidal Hassan, the shooter in the Fort Hood massacre.
Why is the US government letting in so many people from the Third World? Because the Democrat Party is trying to establish a permanent majority via Third World people, which will give it perpetual power. Barack Obama got almost 100 percent of the Black vote and about 80 percent of the Latino vote. Third World people see the Democrats as the party of the Third World, which will mercilessly tax White people to supply them with hand outs.
This gets us back to why the US government is shutting down: The Democrats are trying to force ObamaCare on the American government even though it will impose an oppressive tax burden on working Americans. The true purpose of ObamaCare is to provide free health care for the 100 million Third World people living in the US at the expense of the White taxpayer. One could argue that some of these Third World people have jobs, but most Third World people don’t earn enough to pay for all the government services that they receive such as “free” public school education for their many children, and most of the non-Whites who have good-paying jobs, got them thanks to racial quotas, basically stealing those good-paying jobs from better-qualified White people.
The Democrats and the liberal media “spun” the last government shut down as if it were one of the most heartless, cruel things to happen in all history!! In reality, most Americans didn’t care. The Republicans retained control of Congress after the “infamous 1995 government shut down” so the enormous media smear campaign had little effect except to intimidate people with bad memories.
This time, the Republicans have a very clear reason for a government shutdown: Ending ObamaCare. The US economy is two-thirds dependent on consumer spending. If 90 million working Americans suddenly have to cough up several hundred dollars per month (or more) to feed this new government program, it will DEVASTATE consumer spending for millions of Americans. Many will have nothing left to spend after paying for all their necessities of life plus their mandatory ObamaCare premium.
Once millions of Americans lose their disposable income, how many of them will be going to movie theaters or nail salons or hair dressers or dozens of other service-industry businesses? Half of all American workers are employed by small businesses, and they will bear the brunt of the side effects of ObamaCare. The US economy is much more frail than most people know. The only reason our stock market has been going up is due to the Federal Reserve pumping $85 billion per month into the market. If some lunatic massive government tax increase comes along (like ObamaCare) that devastates consumer spending (which it will), then it’s straight back to massive lay offs and a shrinking economy like we saw in the first few years of the Obama administration.
Frankly, I’d like to see the economy collapse under Obama. That’s probably the only way that many thick-headed liberals will realize what a disaster Obama has been for America. I can’t blame the Republicans for doing their job and trying to protect American from an unwanted, massive tax increase. The economy however may still collapse. The 22 to 30 million illegal aliens in the US, whose children are getting a free education at our expense, are imposing a massive crippling cost on America.
America is no longer the 90 percent White nation, which sent White men to the moon, as it was in the 1960s. Modern day America is one-third non-White. Most of the non-Whites are low-IQ Blacks and Latinos, most of whom are only suited for low-wage manual labor or service industry work.
One book by Professor Richard Lynn and Finnish Professor Tatu Vanhanen called “IQ and the Wealth of Nations” notes that a nation’s prosperity is strongly linked to the average IQ of that nation. As America fills up with Third World people, the average IQ of the US will plunge as more needy Third World people demand more government services, which means more taxes for us. The IQ for American Blacks is about 85 points. The average IQ for Mexico is 87 points. Curiously, the average IQ for Kenya, where Barack Obama gets half his genes from, is a pathetically low 72 points.
LOL...BOEHNER: OBAMA STUBBORNLY REFUSING TO END CRISIS I CREATED
Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) said that he was disappointed after meeting with President Obama at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, telling reporters, “The President is stubbornly refusing to end the crisis I created.”
“Government is about teamwork,” Mr. Boehner continued. “I’ve done my part by putting together an entirely optional crisis that has shut down the government and will throw thousands out of work. Now it’s up to the President to do his part by ending it.”
Mr. Boehner said that he was “flabbergasted” that the President was looking to him to bring the current government shutdown to an end: “So after doing all of the hard work to push the country to the brink, I’m supposed to pull it back, too? How about you pitching in a little, Mr. President?”
The House Speaker said that he hoped he did not have to manufacture an another entirely avoidable crisis over the debt ceiling in order to stir the President to action. “Quite frankly, orchestrating these unnecessary stalemates takes a lot of energy and I could really use a rest,” he said.
But Mr. Boehner seemed pessimistic that the President “got the message.”
“Because of my actions, thousands of federal workers have already been furloughed,” he said. “How many more people do I have to throw out on the street before the President wakes up?”

I hope you don't take a comedian's article as fact.
no!
I take WC's facts as comedy
Under the Hastert Rule, a House Speaker should not allow a vote on any legislation that is not supported by a majority of the majority party, which is the Speaker’s caucus.
The rule is named after former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who said that relying on the other party for the majority of votes was “something I would not generally do,” during a 2006 press conference.
Boehner has waived the rule in the past, but most recently he has used it to justify not bringing a new bill to the floor. He might have to reconsider his stance, though, because Hastert is now saying that the “Hastert Rule is kind of a misnomer,” and nothing more.
On Wednesday, Hastert explained to The Daily Beast that when he made the 2006 comments, he was “speaking philosophically” and that it “wasn’t a rule.”
The former Speaker then explained that “the real Hastert Rule is 218,” referring to the number of votes needed in the House for a bill to pass. He then continued: “if we had to work with Democrats, we did.”
Although Hastert did not say whether or not Boehner should waive the Hastert Rule and admitted that he and the current Speaker do not talk, he did offer some insight that Boehner might find handy: “We had to find a way to compromise and get things done. I wasn’t a show horse; I wasn’t on TV programs.”
“You can’t be in Congress and shut down the government and get anything done. It’s an oxymoron,” Hastert added.
