The Federalist Papers was not a unified “philosophy” from the Founders, but represented disparate views, and those disparate views were then strongly opposed by the Anti-Federalists in their own papers. Do you not know this, or are you simply leaving it out?

But even if I accept your lame counter about what the Holy Federalist Papers have none of, tell me what specific citation they DO have that postulates a separate status and set of laws protecting Federal employees. Quote the Founding Fathers’ original declaration supporting the view that, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” I’d like chapter and verse from the Federalist papers, and then I’d like to know if this was universally held amongst the other Founders, and some writings from all the major players backing that up.

Actually two thirds of the Federalist were written by Hamilton with the vast majority of the rest by Madison. Jay only wrote a few. And it does represent the unified philosophy of the Founders and is the definitive exposition of the meaning of the Constitution. Madison, at that time, was even more Hamiltonian than Hamilton and Jay was always a close ally to Hamilton.

There was no need to reference the Antis since they were the LOSERS and it was because of their lies and misrepresentations as to what the Constitution meant that the Federalist had to be written in the first place.

You seem to mistake a political philosophy with law making. There is nothing within the Constitution which prohibits the federal government from passing the laws you object to nor in the Federalist. Certainly the authority to pass laws regarding federal property and/or employees is there.

As far the quote from Animal Farm which you misuse probably because you don’t understand that the Constitution actually was passed only because the Slavers demanded that it treat “some animals as more equal than others”. Had it treated their slaves as equal Slavers would have defeated it. That is where most of the Antis came from anyway. The others were generally crooks like George Clinton whose power within the state governments was to be reduced by a central government. There isn’t one paper in the bunch worth wasting your time with.
