Subject: RE: BS: State Sovereignty Resolutions
Come on, Spaw, tell us what you really think.

The idea that the federal government is infringing on state rights isn't that outlandish - think of federal medical marijuana raids continuing in California despite MM being legal in the state.

"If the federal government has the exclusive right to judge the extent of its own powers, warned the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions' authors (James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, respectively), it will continue to grow – regardless of elections, the separation of powers, and other much-touted limits on government power."
–Thomas E. Woods


Seems like a pretty accurate description of what is happening.
