More accurately, there is a place for interpretation (w/r/t the law), and that place is within the judicial branch. Feel free to show where the courts have determined that international treaties which are not in contradiction with the Constitution or state law are not the supreme law of the land.

That's rich, coming from someone who demonstrated a lack of basic writing skills in her post. I replied to post #22. How am I supposed to know what document you're referencing if you don't mention it in your post? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

nonsense private sector this happens as they have limited resources public sector - they demand a bigger budget (due to the illusion of unlimited resources) as for gov reps having desire to be re-elected encouraging efficiency is nonsense also - what they do is add inefficiency by target benefits to special groups that net them more votes at the expense of the tax base of those not entitled - as demonstrated by history our government is about which social programs (left vs right) are prioritized to spend all the money on - instead of using the money efficiently on a minimum level of service -----that does not lend itself to efficiency, just the opposite Just a quick counter example to your (incorrect) claims: Medicare has lower administration costs (i.e. operates more efficiently) than private insurance companies, in general.

Speaking of that damn old pesky piece of paper can you show me where it says, healthcare is a right? If the USA won't grant the human rights that the USA agreed to when it signed on to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 (part of the governing documents of the UN to which the USA is joined by treaty ratified 25 Oct 1945), what moral ground does the USA have to criticize other nations like Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Congo... for violating the rights of their citizens? Hmm. I believe the question was referring to the constitution, not the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I guess if we can't answer that question, we'll just switch topics. Wasn't this thread about internet connection. Have that many people really not read the Constitution closely enough to know that it explicitly recognizes international treaties to be "the supreme Law of the Land," provided they did not contradict the Constitution or state law?

Read Article 6, and then tell us which article or amendment states that healthcare is not a right. Which states have laws stating healthcare is not a right? Hmm nice try. The constitution is NOT suposed to tell you what right you dont have. It tells you what right's you DO have. I love how you libs answer a question with a stupid question Get real!

There is: competition. Competition in the private sector is countered by factors in the public side such as desire to be re-elected, need to stretch the budget to accomplish organization's mission, etc. Efficiency can be found (and can be found to be absent) in both sectors.

No, the right doesn't promote fewer programs than the left. They promote different programs (and often spend more money on them) than the left.

"In a rare public defense of a process normally shrouded in secrecy, four of the Nobel jury's five judges spoke out this week about a selection they said was both merited and unanimous. To those who say a Nobel is too much too soon in Obama's young presidency, 'We simply disagree ... He got the prize for what he has done,' committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland told The Associated Press by telephone from Strasbourg, France, where he was attending meetings of the Council of Europe. … Jagland said that was never an issue for the Nobel committee, which followed the guidelines set forth by Alfred Nobel, the Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite who established the prize in his 1895 will. 'Alfred Nobel wrote that the prize should go to the person who has contributed most to the development of peace in the previous year,' Jagland said. 'Who has done more for that than Barack Obama?'"
