If three hundred Representatives all vote in favor of a bill acting under the considered belief that it is Constitutional There's about as much chance of that as there is of the SC not interjecting it's opinions where they don't belong. I'm beginning to think that most congressmen haven't considered the Constitution in eons, that is if they've ever read it, let alone having "considered belief" whenever they vote. They are driven by politics. It's up to the SC to at least give a passing wave at the Constitution. Which would presumably include the power to regulate the rules of bridge. You can presume whatever you please. That is your right under the Constitution and no state can take it away from you. Sez so in the ninth amendment. I, OTOH, presume that the tenth amendment gives power to the states to do all those things that the Constitution does not assign to the Feds AND that are not rights that the ninth amendment assures us are ours, even if not articulated, but are ours nonetheless because we're human beings and citizens of this country, a country founded on love of liberty and eschewing overly ambitious government.
