WTF??????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????Agreed! WTF???
It seems if you want to do ANYTHING you want, put it in a defense bill and you'll get it.
Defense bills have become the Tyrant's Decree. It has the appearance of following a Constitutional process, but it's still a decree.

The amendment is S.AMDT.3223 and it wasn't included in the final Senate bill that passed.

The Marketplace Fairness Act, and its House counterpart the Marketplace Equity Act, seek to clarify, and arguably overturn, a 1992 Supreme Court ruling that requires retailers to have a physical presence in a state in order to collect sales tax on goods.
Since when is Congress allowed to overturn supreme court decisions?
Still, a recent poll indicates that the majority of Americans support the idea, describing an online sales tax as “common sense”.
What poll? I find it hard to believe that the majority of Americans want to be taxed more.
:confused:
