Dangerous Wanderings of an Unfocused Mind

Third Amendment

 No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

  As Justice Joseph Story stated in his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, the provision speaks for itself as secur[ing] the perfect enjoyment of that great right of the common law, that a man’s house shall be his own castle, privileged against all civil and military intrusion.3

Just a question from someone with no legal training. Does the arming of nearly every federal agency blur the line between civilian and military? Can an innkeeper deny lodging?

More Slippery Slopes

Electronic Log Books

The electronic logbook law, also known as the ELD Mandate, is a federal law requiring qualifying commercial motor vehicle drivers to use electronic log devices (ELDs or elogs) to record driver and vehicle activity such as hours of service (HOS) and records of duty status (RODS).Dec 21, 2020

How soon will these appear in all non commercial vehicles? We conspiracy nuts are convinced the (P)regressives and world government champions want every possible means to control our lives.

The legality of ELBs was challenged and a circuit court has ruled the law as constitutional.

To my knowledge, the Supreme Court hasn’t  taken up the question.

Seems to me that, if you want to operate a commercial vehicle, you must agree to always be a witness against yourself.

Long article here about the Commerce Clause.

After reading through this, in light of the 2nd Amendment Bruin decision, what was “commerce” at the time? Seems to my lay mind the idea was to prevent states from imposing import duties on products imported from other states. When written, was the intent to give Congress the power to regulate teamsters engaged in interstate commerce?

Silly questions, WSF. You are not now, were never, and never will be a lawyer.

As always, YMMV
