I appreciate your post. I appreciate that some states are fighting back. I like the trend.
All I meant is that since the Civil War, the states have lost most of their sovereignty, and I’m sure I don’t need to explain this to you.
How many of the 50 states can tell the USA that they refuse to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act in forcing businesses to add handicap ramps for buildings and little wheelchair ramps for curb intersections? None, I think.
How many can tell the EPA that you can fill in a wetland with impunity? None I think.
How many states can tell the EPA to go stuff it and that they aren’t going to comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty? None I think.
EPA is preventing drilling for oil in some states and coal exploration in others.
How many state can ban abortion? I understand none can as this was codified as a 1st amendment right in Roe.
This is what I meant when I said the states haven’t had rights since the Civil War. The amount of true state sovereignty is very very small today relative to the pre-civil war era. That is all I meant.
If I am wrong about that, then I apologize but that is my perception. Just as our personal property rights have been massively diminished in the past 150 years, the right of states to self-determination has been massively diminished as well.
26, I say again, 26 of the 57 (har) States sued against Obamacare. Let's work with them to nullify the Roberts Court wrong decision.
I can't believe our entire health-care system and Congressional control was decided by one man. If Roberts had gone the correct way with the dissenters, the entire monstrosity would have been over-turned.
Again, Individual State nullification is now our only way out.
