Biden's $15 minimum wage for federal contractors blocked by US judge

Article 1 section 8 is silent on naturalization. So…..

So...what?

Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 of the Constitution provides Congress with the power . . . To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization . . .throughout the United States.1 The Supreme Court has described naturalization as the act of adopting a foreigner, and clothing him with the privileges of a native citizen.2 Pursuant to this authority, Congress may legislate terms and conditions by which a foreign-born national (alien) may become a U.S. citizen.3

It seems the Congress can determine who can get in and become a citizen.

You seem to be obsessed with Article 1 Section 8 when it comes to other legislative issues.

I have and you just keep repeating yourself.
States do not have absolute or unlimited sovereignty.

so which language in the constitution permits the legislation?

so which language in the constitution permits the legislation?

The same language which permits immigration and asylum laws. Both of which the US constitution does not address.

I was asking for the language that permits a minimum wage law. Have you found that yet?

Yep. And you, a living constitutionalist, are not.

Heavy on the personal attacks. Light on the facts.


Is there any language in the constitution that would allow a minimum wage law?

[Peter1469]

Federal criminal law (at least the core that was created prior to 1933ish) is based off either the Commerce Clause or the Necessary and Proper Clause. Look at charges like murder and assault which was largely state offenses without a federal link. And then child porn, there has to be an interstate or international link to it to be a federal crime.

That wasn’t a personal attack. That was quite mild. You are stuck on stupid.
