    That would be silly. The 10th amendment leaves such law enforcement to the States and local jurisdiction.
    Read then post.

    But I thought the idea was to make silly arguments. That's what your post did, so I was just trying to join in.

    I see no evidence of you thinking. But I do see evidence of your well known disregard for the Constitution.

    Yellow journalism exposed, too.

    The directors of the Office of National Intelligence and the National Security Agency testified on Wednesday that they have not been pressured by President Trump on the ongoing Russia investigation, undercutting recent reports that they were.​

    Yes, I watched that hearing this morning. No, None to a man!

    I also saw the Democrats go nuts over not getting what they want. Especially this one, from California;

    It's funny watching CNN try to spin this.

    I liked the line from one of them about the accuracy of WaPost reporting; that it's incorrect.

    As usual.

    It was also interesting to listen to the questioning from Oregon Senator Weyden. He seem to be out of sync with the Dems, which is not really a surprise, he is often out of sync with the world.
    But in this case he seems to shun anything to do with the Russian investigation unlike most of the Dems. He actually honed in on NSA questions in surveillance of Americans.
    What the hell! Do you guy support this wild hair on this mission??

    Comey's entire prepared remarks here:

    http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/article154853419.html

    “I had understood the president to be requesting that we drop any investigation of Flynn in connection with false statements about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in December,” Comey said in prepared testimony ahead of Thursday’s hearing in the Senate. “I did not understand the President to be talking about the broader investigation into Russia or possible links to his campaign.”

    Comey said he “could be wrong” about that interpretation of Trump’s comments.

    ...

    Comey said he told then-president-elect Trump on Jan. 6 in a briefing in Trump Tower that Trump himself was not being investigated. Before that meeting, he spoke with the FBI’s leadership team about whether he should tell Trump the agency was not investigating him.

    “That was true; we did not have an open counter-intelligence case on him. We agreed I should do so if circumstances warranted,” Comey said. “During our one-on-one meeting at Trump Tower, based on President-Elect Trump’s reaction to the briefing and without him directly asking the question, I offered that assurance.”

    ...

    According to Comey, Trump told him he was considering ordering an investigation into the salacious allegations the FBI director had briefed him on in the Jan. 6 meeting at Trump Tower. Comey then reassured Trump for a second time the president was not personally under investigation.

    ...

    During a phone call on March 30, Comey said he told Trump for a third time he was not personally under investigation.

    What's interesting about the 3 times bit is that Trump wrote that in the termination letter he sent to Comey and that's been made public. Trump wasn't making that up, eh? The question begs the point of how he remembered these three occasions - just good memory, he himself took notes, or it was recorded and they went back and listened and counted the times.

    If there are tapes, they need to be made public so we can hear the whole context of what was being said. To be fair.

    Or maybe Trump is just obsessed with finding out whether the FBI has anything on him yet.

    Totally agree.
