Is this about state's right vs federal rights, the question of checks and balances where several checks have bounces, the abuse of power at the federal level (absolute power corrupts, absolutely), or the amount of federal spending we are paying for which makes it so difficult to afford a good steak dinner and a movie?

Federal Power:

Good: Whipping ass in Wars...

Bad: Social programs for the most part, Roe v Wade, gun control, etc., taxes, land use determination


Property rights define us largely in the end and the Federal Government has an ever decreasing respect for that.

Small wonder the founders only allowed property owning males the vote...uh oh...I stepped in the pantyhose again.
