"It's good policy to expect that a govt. can do anything, unless presented with evidence to the contrary."

WTF does this sentence even mean. Evidence to the contrary that the gov't can't do anything? Could you give an example of such a piece of evidence?

Also TIL Disney dollar is against the constitution.

But, it can. Sometimes it's hand is slapped, and sometimes it isn't, but the government has proven its willingness and ability to violate everything in the constitution on multiple occasions.

We are talking about laws here, right? Not like say single events where the gov't did something unconstitutional (not that these are ok, but we are talking about a ban on using bitcoins as a currency, which would have to be a law). So which law do you think currently undeniably violates the constitution?
