--excellent--unfortunately, it starts at the local level with at least 45% (or more) of the population wanting "government" to fix everything.
Excellent article. Thanks for posting.
Good read...thanks.
"Don't make a federal case out of it," was the expression my Dad used most. As he was born in 1901, he was well ahead of his time.
He relayed some absolutely outrageous anecdotes about how the Federal Code is being abused by prosecutors to railroad people to jail over such petty, trivial silliness as leaving a bag of marshmallows open at a National Park, or importing lobsters (or was it shrimp? Can't remember) with the wrong length of tails. Very eyeopening, and not a little unsettling.
Congress needs to take a long, hard look at the Federal Criminal Code, and do some serious reforms.
What happened to the Federalism push of the 1990's?
Is it dead?
