No, the power to create one is reserved to the individuals states.Which paragraph in the Constitution is that, then?
However, historically, the Supreme Court has pretty much done what it wants (re-interprets it) or else Medicaid and Medicare would not exist at the federal level as well .Why reinterpret? Review Jefferson's quotations about taxes on the rich to pay for things like canals. Perhaps the Courts are protecting the Constitution from people who want to reinterpret what the Founding Fathers actually intended. ;-)
I'm still for bringing in the Swedes to organize and run itThe French might be better- they're a Republic too with a few attributes on the authority vs people scale that some here might enjoy. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
