How is it stupid? If I truly believed in such constitutional purity I would have no problems saying a simple yes or no to it. For example sometimes I am accused of hating a particular religion, I gladly say I am not a fan of any religion and name a few to make it clear.

Again, its a simple question. Just answer yes or no. Do you or do you not believe in the dissolution of those agencies per your interpretation of the constitution?


There are many things that are not in the Constitution: the USAF, computers, antibiotics, sea cruises, cars, steak, etc. Not being in the Constitution does not make them unconstitutional. Hope this helps.

As for dissolution of those agencies, my answer is: no. You have to ask a question before demanding an answer.


Why not? You literally said "We don't have either in the Constitution so whatever you call it, it has to be removed from power.". What's different about ICE and DHS but not about governments having civil services? Or the other things you listed?

If t hat's bad how do you feel about ICE and DHS or any other agency contracting private companies? They are even less accountable then. Why don't you support banning government agencies from hiring private companies?

I feel you want to talk about ICE and DHS instead of the topic at hand, the Deep State/"civil service". I feel the government contracting private companies is fine, the government is accountable so are the private companies. I don't support banning government agencies from hiring private companies because I don't see how the country would benefit from have government making everything it uses in the course of executing its duties.

>the comment you replied to literally said "Not being in the Constitution does not make them unconstitutional."

Then why make stupid statements in the first place. I am not a telepath. Thats absolutely not what your original comment said. Why make such stupid comments in the first place and then later lie and say "No I didn't mean that".

"We don't have either in the Constitution so whatever you call it, it has to be removed from power."

Dude you're hilarious, you're one to call someone having cognitive impairment when you are literally saying something and the exact opposite of the same thing and then somehow being unable to see the obvious question already in AnimalMuppet's and my first comment to you. Get yourself checked man.

I don't necessarily disagree with the existence of ICE and DHS but you do, and then you said you don't, somehow.

And if you feel the Civil Service Act or any other act violates the constitution, nobody's stopping you from arranging for a lawsuit against it. Go do that and come back.


What are institutions made of? Aliens from Mars?
