A victory for federalism is not a good thing. So, is this ruling a victory for federalism or a victory for states’ rights? The article is contradictory.
You do not know what “federalism” is, do you?
Those of us who believe in the art. V convention see federalism as defined by the founders in the “Federalist papers”, not as defined by progressives. That would be, in a nutshell, federal government is defined and constrained by the states. Progressives reverse that.
Federalism originally meant a strong but limited Federal Government with those powers not granted to it reserved for the states or the people. Look up the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Under the Articles of Confederation, the government was entirely federal.
Pre-17th Amendment, the government was partially federal, but it was still accurate to refer to it as federal, as in “federal republic.”
Overnight, the 17th Amendment rendered our republic democratic. People still refer to it as federal, but the most accurate term, is “democratic republic.”
Woe to us all, for until the 17th is repealed, we are doomed to the demise of history’s previous democratic republics.
