http://www2.insidenova.com/news/2011/ja ... ar-755658/The 20-year veteran plans to introduce legislation during the Jan. 12 session of the General Assembly that would call for the Commonwealth to study minting its own coins in order to compete with what he calls “the monopoly of the Federal Reserve System.”
“We can’t mint money, but we can mint gold and silver coins,” Marshall said Wednesday night. “It sounds like a small difference, but it is a difference legally. If you look closely on a [dollar] bill, it doesn’t say that it’s money. It says it is legal tender ‘for all debts, public and private.’”

Marshall's also the guy who wants to reimpose don't ask/don't tell through state legislation that would apply to the VA National Guard.

That makes perfect sense. In fact make people pay their taxes with their Virgins that'll solve your state's budget problem.

Reminds me of the "sovruns" issuing their own quasi-Driver Licenses, with the cards reading "Constitutional Place Traveler", "International Motorist Certification" (or "Qualification")", "Sovereign Authority to Operate Motor Vehicle", "Operator's License", and so forth.Famspear wrote:Dimwit wrote:

And how does Marshall plan on getting around the counterfeiting and utterance statutes one wonders?? Oh wait, bet that was one of those myriad pesky little details he didn't have time for.
The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.

Re: Liberty Dollar may have some competition...from VIRGINIA
I find it interesting that those who profess to be most interested in the Constitution don't seem to be able to remember what it says, or what it means.The 20-year veteran plans to introduce legislation during the Jan. 12 session of the General Assembly that would call for the Commonwealth to study minting its own coins in order to compete with what he calls “the monopoly of the Federal Reserve System.”
“We can’t mint money, but we can mint gold and silver coins,” Marshall said Wednesday night. “It sounds like a small difference, but it is a difference legally."
And I also find it interesting that those who are not lawyers so often want to talk about what constitutions and laws mean "legally."
Anyway, what the Constitution actually says is that no state shall "coin Money."
Assuming that there is a "difference legally" between a state that does "coin Money" and a state that does "mint gold and silver coins," how can that difference possibly allow the state "to compete with what he calls 'the monopoly of the Federal Reserve System'" if the "minted coins" are not "Money"?

Take him to Arlington, walk him up the hill to Bobby Lee's house and point out the graves right next to the rose garden.
Then tell him this is what we did to one of the last people from Virginia who thought the states were free to choose what part of the federal they could abide. Oh, and the guy who USED to own this place was beofre the war one of the most respected men in America and after the war one of of the most loved men in at least a large part of America.
So, where's your house, got any other property????

Re: Liberty Dollar may have some competition...from VIRGINIA
from the U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 10, clause 1:
"No State shall .... coin money;...."
Did they repeal that while I was looking in the fridge for a brewski??

Re: Liberty Dollar may have some competition...from VIRGINIA
No; but I'm sure that the proposed Virginia coinage isn't covered by that prohibition because none of the designs on the (ahahaha) "coins" would use the word "money."fortinbras wrote:from the U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 10, clause 1:

Re: Liberty Dollar may have some competition...from VIRGINIA
Apparently the GOP is going to read the Constitution in Congress as part of a publicity stunt. Nothing wrong with that, but what parts do you suppose they will omit? 3/5ths of a person? "All persons born" in the 14th?

Re: Liberty Dollar may have some competition...from VIRGINIA
They did that yesterday, but the only detail I've read is that a birfer was arrested and charged with "unlawful conduct, disruption of Congress" for shouting "Except Obama, except Obama. Help us Jesus." after the reading of the natural born citizen requirement for the presidency.Evil Squirrel Overlord wrote:Apparently the GOP is going to read the Constitution in Congress as part of a publicity stunt.

Re: Liberty Dollar may have some competition...from VIRGINIA
Supposedly on the grounds that they were implicitly repealed by the 13th Amendment. (But they also left out the part about direct taxes being apportioned, which I think some Tea Party types would have liked to hear.)bmielke wrote:I saw a news headline on ABA Journal that said the slavery portions were left out.
I also heard that they read the amendment repealing prohibition, but not the prohibition amendment itself.
Also, two pages stuck together, and so Article 4 Section 4 and the first sentence of Article 5 were initially omitted, but then read into the record about two hours later.
Most interesting to me was that most representatives (including Speaker Boehner) left before the reading was completed.
