    They're getting more and more sophisticated. They almost pass the Turing test, but not quite.

    i see that right wingers have only ignorance to appeal to.

    there is no appeal to ignorance of the law in legal venues.

    thank goodness for our federal doctrine of separation of powers.

    That's the worst non-response I've ever seen.

    Cornell Law School cited federal doctrine. On the other hand, you wretch nonsense

    After they signed the Constitution could they make their own coinage or currency? could they collect their own customs duties at their borders? Could they wage war with other states? These are all rights of sovereign states, are they not?

    Would you mind clarifying that statement? Is government or socialism the externality here and what is being meant by externality anyway?

    Yes. All sovereign states can do so. However, they chose to allow their agent to do this for them.
    Of course they could. They are sovereign states. However, they signed a treaty that said that they would not do so.
    Of course they could.
    Yes, they are.

    Nonsense, Capitalism can't exist without government; how can you enforce debt? or standardize money? Indeed, how can you keep your customer from just robbing you if he is bigger or armed better?

    Was there a government law that said that all credit cards must be 2 1/8 x 3 3/8 inches? How was that standard arrived at?

    I wouldn't know, I'm not right wing. I'm an anarchist. I don't really care what federal doctrine states, even though I know it better than the majority of it's sycophants.

    This Andrew Yang guy is indeed impressive!

    What he is advocating is pretty close to being the opposite of what President Obama did from 2009 to 2014 according to this economist:
