Honestly, what is the point of even having States or State legislatures? Federalism is dead. Utterly dead.

Washington D.C. and unelected judges rule over the entire country. We may as well remove all state boundaries and laws.

What I don’t understand is this:

Since the Constitution calls for a limited Fed gov’t, how is it that the Fed gov’t has authority over the states except for what is specifically enumerated in the Constitution?

Why don’t the states get together and tell the Fed to go pound sand, that their Fed rulings are null and void, meaningless, and just do what they have the Constitutional power to do? Is it because of funds? Is it a case of who has the strongest weapons, the Feds or the States?

In either case, the Feds operate illegally until the states exercise their rightful Constitutional authority to reign them in.
