Under The Radar
(3,404 posts)Then a constitutional amendment changed the date, all 48 states ratified it following the guidelines es of the original constitution.
My question is this, that since there was no speed limit set on the interstates in the original constitution, I can drive as fast or slow as I want to and to charge me, fine me or arrest me is that a violation of my constitutional rights?

Mule trains for them. Lets see how long it takes Lauren to get home that way. (And that assumes that shes riding, not pulling!)

(182,876 posts)If she moved the decimal two spots and thought she got $57.50 per mile
That would be 382.6 miles.

Impressive.
JDC
(10,132 posts)I used to commute 150 miles round trip, 5 days a week in and out of Boston metro-west area from the NH seacoast, plus misc trips to NY, CT and RI cities. I did about 30k in 2016 before I moved.
I guess it could be done, but one can't escape the fact that she is clearly there for the grift and doesn't exactly give off an honest and trustworthy vibe to say the least....
Does the article mention the time period in which she did all this driving? I assume to "campaign" here in CO?
On edit- I could get to a quick glance of the DPost article before the paywall popped. They lay it out, including the mileage required, and it was for campaigning between Jan and Mid-Nov.
