Didn’t we have a rather intense debate about States Rights once before, back in the 1800’s? One that got rather nasty?

Yep, and states rights lost. Ever since we have not been a voluntary Union of States but rather a coerced union by an overriding central government. Our original form of government died and the extent of Federal coercion on the States has been growing ever since.

They said he was the “new Lincoln” and he is.

Some discussions are worth revisiting.

Yeah.

Now maybe the “other side” will get the damn point we’ve been trying to make.
