States gifted or loaned the Federal Government the right to govern.
States are sovereign in that respect. They have the right and ability to remain sovereign under the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
There needs to be far more power wielded by States in seeking for control of the Fed. Governors and Legislatures are the key to making it happen.
On the other hand the Fed has blackmailed all fifty States into giving up their power so it will take a huge effort to right the ship of State.
When it all shakes out, there will be slave states and free states.
Agree!
This is why the 17th Amendment needs to be repealed and we go back to the method of selecting senators the founding fathers intended - the state legislatures. And yes, I am sure there are those out there with idiotic & corrupt state legislatures. All I can that means you have work to do! You could include term limits for senators with that. It might not be necessary. I think there are enough senator wannabes in the legislatures and state grand poobahs to make it competitive.
Also this is very important a test case needs to be set up for the USSC o overturn Reynolds vs Sims. This decision as predicted by Evertt Dirksen wrecked states financially & culturally with large urban centers. it allowed these large population to dominate and dictate to the state. State senates should mirror the arrangement of the US Constitution and represent regions in the state - like counties.
The 2nd Amendment is not a power legislated by the Federal or State Governments.
It is a natural right. The founders fully understood that.
Texas will never accept gutting the 2nd Amendment.
They can pound sand.
Oh, they are sooo desperate to take our weapons now! Why now? Because of what they plan to do next. (finish destroying the Constitution and the Nation)
Agreed... to a point. There were some things even the States were not to be allowed to infringe upon...
Read the Pre-amble to the Bill of Rights and you’ll understand.
