I *have* read the US Constitution. What in particular do you want me to look at.That whole pesky supremacy clause thing. Article 6. Your position is clearly foreclosed by one of the most bedrock Supreme Court decisions around, McCulloch v Maryland. Maryland tried to tax the Second Bank of the United States, which was essentially a corporate entity chartered by federal government, not too much unlike Amtrak. They couldn't even tax it, let alone do what you want to do, and seize it. I'm not sure where on earth you'd get such an un-American and dangerous idea from. You suggested: It is the LION'S opine that NYS should seize NYP The last time that a state tried something like that, it set off a little conflict known to students of American history as the Civil War. You're quite mad. |
