Yep, the Jimmy Carter wing of the Democratic Party is back with another brilliant idea: resurrecting the 55-mph (or thereabouts) national speed limit. Gotta love the nanny state.

Well-known dupe of the Carterista wing of the Democrat Party, Darth Milhous, uses the Force Choke to magically impose a federal 55-mph speed limit in 1974.

Again I'll say that people in congested metropolitan areas like New York and the rest of the northeast, where many of you come from, can dump the car for the rail without batting an eyelash. Driving for you becomes irrelevant. Then these decisions become like most coming out of government, where the people who don't finance their campaigns become irrelevant, That means most of us. When decisions start being made by recognizing the collective relevance of families who ultimately make this economy of the rich go, then we will get somewhere. In all facets of the game.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm pretty sure a lot of us are in what Spnited would call flyover country.

There's no damn train running outside my apartment.

And someone show me in the Constitution where it says you have the right to drive a car.

Didn't think so. But I can show you exactly where it says I have the right to my AK and my right to remain silent and my right to a free press.

It's as simple as that. So drive 55 or less, bitches, or Johnny Law will take you to jail and shove a baton into your ear socket.

Ninth amendment?

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

If you were going to cite something, this would probably be it.

Driving on the government's roads is not a right.

Good point. We never required our forest service rangers to have drivers licenses; just a license to kill .... (that happens to cover vehicular manslaughter .)

Not really saying it is (I really think the right discussion is a lot of semantics at this point anyway, though I haven't made up my mind just where I stand in that semantics discussion) but I'm saying is, if I'm going to make a constitutional argument that it is, I'm using the 9th amendment.

Well, if you're going to use your 9th amendment, I'm either going to use my Bloodletter's knife or my Dagger of Inquisition - but I'm not going to tell you yet.

Not until you roll first:
