Right now, for anyone living in a blue state, that sounds like an increasingly sound notion, does it not? But of course when conservatives over the years trumpeted their states’ rights, there was always an ugly agenda behind it (racism, pollution, crony capitalism, etc.). As I mull it, I tend to think that the ideal is to have a strong federal government run by the right side. Why let individual states go retrograde?
I suppose it could be argued that as long as people have freedom to move, it allows us to avoid having some mass of people in other states who don’t know us tell us how to live.
Thoughts?
Couldn’t do the poll. The real answer is a dynamic process and balance. There are whole areas of law and regulation that belong to the States, whole areas that belong to the Feds and whole areas that are shared. Like Charles Atlas it’s <<<Dynamic Tension>>>.
In the present situation we have an almost unprecedented attack on the State Judiciary. In the Schiavo case the Judiciary didn’t fold like the 97 pound weakling, it already had some muscles. Now the thing is to not give in.
