Fortunately it will be found unconstitutional, states can't make treaties and such between themselves.
Then when confronted with evidence that such agreements aren't unconstitutional, backpedaled to this:
What do you know, they did go through Congress just like the Constitution requires...
Then silence. Of course, it takes courage to admit it when you are wrong, so no surprise there. S a n d y

You've made a big enough fool of yourself on this point.

As my original statement (which I thank you for providing) specifically says 'between themselves'. Reading comprehension reaches a new low (for you anyway). Now, can you live up to your own last sentence? -- ____________________________________________________________________ Day by day the Penguins are making me lose my mind.

Jimbo really stretched on this one:

But states DO make compacts 'BETWEEN THEMSELVES,' which is what Jimbo said was unconstitutional. The fact that they have congressional approval, does not alter the nature of the agreement nor of the parties. The "remedial reading" ball is demonstrably and forcefully served back to Jimbo's court. I await his next cowardly volley with amusement. But unless he says something a bit meatier than his foregoing thin gruel, I doubt I'll be motivated to respond. It's just no fun anymore; he's too easy. :'D S a n d y

Not without congressional approval. No, I didn't say it, the Constitution says that unless Congress has a say states can't play with each other. As to altering your assertion, it most certainly does. Please provide a state compact that doesn't involve Congress. All the ones you provided as examples before don't qualify except under my statement. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Day by day the Penguins are making me lose my mind.
