So, recognizing a community has the right to live 'porn-free' or drug-free, but denying blanket democratic imposition of these rights on any larger scale, we go on to say: If a community is evolving toward a prohibition or repeal, they must proceed using a guideline for transition-- one that doesnt "turn people into criminals overnight" nor "let the drug trade out of a cage".



This sounds like the kind of federal relationship that existed between the states and the national government prior to the Civil War. I would be in favor of restoring such genuine federalism.

I would be in favor of restoring such genuine federalism.

Im talking about a much more granular system, one where the federal 'constitution' includes a specification of what is the proper scope of 'group rights' right down to the county and city level as well as a meta-law that describes parameters for the incremental implementation of prohibitions, so no one is suddenly shut out and the law isn't forcing people to 'move if you dont like it' as suddenly.
