What a pant load. It was never a legitimate federal issue at the start. All the states ever had to do was refuse to allow the feds to enforce their regs. Simple enough to do, and nothing the feds can do about it.
The FDA has done us a real service recently with it's concern and diligence in keeping the American Public safe from poisons in our food and bad pharmaceuticals . </sarcasm>
“All the states ever had to do was refuse to allow the feds to enforce their regs.”
Oh, Baby...but that Federal Cash is Sweeeeeeet! Like milk from your Mother’s bosom. And the Feds were smart enough (or just EVIL enough) to tie Federal Funding to lots of things...helmet laws, seat belt laws, insurance laws, liquor laws and taxes, gasoline taxes in turn for fixing roads with federal cash...you name it!
States Governments and their Governors are JUST as addicted to Federal Cash as the State Citizens are to their particular vices.
Agreed. Why did the states pay any attention to this in the first place? Seems I read somewhere: “all other powers are reserved to the states, and to the people”.
