@jmb3608 "fewer taxes, more tax breaks,"
This is a great example. For years the only federal taxes were import and export taxes and a tax on the states based on their population sizes. When a federal individual income tax was first proposed it was ruled unconstitutional. It took an amendment to pass it. Bad idea. Why? Now the federal government has the ability to create a complex tax code on the people with tax breaks. So while sure, they may give out child tax credits, and you may cheer them on for having that power. They also have the power to give out tax breaks to the rich.
The average person has many tax breaks they do not use. Why? They do not have the resources to hire accountants and lawyers like a corporation or a rich person does. So you have politicians, especially on the left saying "see, we are giving the average person these tax breaks", which are vague and hard to interpret unless you have a lawyer and accountant, but also give tax breaks to the rich.
What will solve that problem is either go back to the original system, or have a flat individual income tax with a consumption tax. Nothing else. Instead, people, especially on the left want to give the federal government all this power and then wonder why they are getting screwed.

@rdean150 they have a separate account only for the campaign. Just like in a business, a business owner has their business account and a personal one. If someone buys something for the business they use their business account and get tax write offs. If for personal they use their personal. If they use the business account for a personal expense that would be illegal.
"Would a vehicle that you use to get to your campaign rallies count as being "for the campaign"?"
Depends. How many miles? I have a company vehicle. I use it only for work. I use my personal vehicle for personal situations. If I were to use the company vehicle for personal situations I have to report the mileage compared to the total mileage. It becomes a tax issue. Or a company. If they have a company vehicle they can only use it for company situations, not personal.
"What if you also happen to drive your kids to school with it, and get groceries with it?"
Then those mileage are personal mileage. And if I recall, if it is over 50% then it is a personal vehicle, not business, in the business world. Don't know the campaign world.
"Would your haircuts, clothing, dry cleaning, lunches, snacks, dinners, toothpaste, soap, and cell phone bill count as being "for the campaign"? How about courtside tickets to an NBA game, or a flight to Miami over spring break?"
Well, actually, something like court side tickets to an NBA would count if it is directly related to a campaign. Just like in business can bring clients there. On haircuts, that is too general, same with toothpaste and soap. On cell phone bills, as with work and work phones, which I have, as long as that cell phone is only used for the campaign you are good.
You see, it isn't like these politicians are just spending money. They have separate accounts. The IRS tracks this closely.

@Rae Tavia it is though
"The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."
Wow, that sounds like judicial review to me. That sounds like the SC has the power to look at law and equity. So uh, cased closed here. What else do you have?
" Great so that means congress or the president can say "no you don't have the power of judicial review" and that would be the end of it"
No, because it is written out in Article III Section 2 pretty clear. If as in
"The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States"
That seems pretty clear to me.

@hughmiller7127 sure, they are being picked on their stance, but you have that pesky Senate to balance it out.
Uh, what justice does not know what email is? Besides, justices hire assistance to work for them, most know what email is. And for justices staying on for a long time, not everything is perfect. But again, if you put on term limits justices will make decisions that will benefit them when they are off the bench. As with them not being voted on by the people, they are lifetime appointments as they have to make, at times, unpopular decisions that are correct in the end.
Roe v Wade was an incorrect ruling. It was literally legislating from the bench. Talking to a lawyer he told me at the time there was nothing in the Constitution to support it. However, at that time women were dying doing abortions in the bathrooms. As bad as that is, the SC should not legislate from the bench. And this is ironic, you are supporting the idea of justices legislating from the bench while at the same time they should have term limits. So a justice can create a law on the bench that will benefit them when they step down?
Plus, how was Roe v Wade ruling correct? You saying it is but does not give reasons why.

@Rae Tavia and no, federal law, in many ways, does not take president over state laws. From Cornell Law
"Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution is commonly referred to as the Supremacy Clause. It establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions. It prohibits states from interfering with the federal government's exercise of its constitutional powers, and from assuming any functions that are exclusively entrusted to the federal government. It does not, however, allow the federal government to review or veto state laws before they take effect."
That is why, for example, the federal government cannot sent in federal troops in a state to enforce domestic law. You did know that? Not very smart are ya. But hey, where is "supremacy clause" written in the Constitution?

@Rae Tavia how am I not here to debate in an honest fashion? You brought up judicial review. So I simply asked you to define it. You either can't or refuse to. You mentioned that the courts look at and interpret laws. Well, that seems like the judicial system is reviewing laws. Hmmmm.......sounds like judicial review. Until you give me a definition on it that is all we have to go off it. You saying "that is not judicial review" and nothing else is not a rebuttal.
You saying "I know you won't win" is me pushing you in a corner. How? Read carefully here.
You said "judicial review" is not explicitly written in the Constitution, so it does not exist.
I came back with two rebuttals. One, it is implied while citing Cornell Law, and two, asking you to define it.
You refuse to define it and ignore my Cornell Law quote.
Next, you bring up the supremacy clause.
I come back saying that is not explicitly written in the Constitution, so based on your standard with judicial review it is irrelevant.
You come back saying it is implied, which is what I said about judicial review. So now what is it? Does it have to be explicitly written in the Constitution or can it be implied?
Also, on Article VI section 2, you ignored my Cornell Law quote there as well.
