Insane asylums at the state level have proven inadequate to the task, as well as being too expensive for states to be willing to fund, so the alternative is to create a federal reservation medical center just for the criminally insane.

The only way to do it “safely” to avoid it being used abusively is for there to be multiple safeguards before anyone could be admitted, and re-diagnosis on an annual basis.

First, a local court would refer someone believed mentally ill to their county mental health care facility for a two week evaluation, which is done right now. If after two weeks in a controlled situation, county psychiatrists determine that they are dangerously mentally ill, then they would be transferred to the state hospital for a month long evaluation.

Only then could they be sent to the federal reservation medical center for evaluation with the possibility of institutionalization. And then re-diagnosed by a different psychiatrist each year. If they determined that the patient was no longer a threat to themselves or others, then a panel of psychiatrists could “send them back down the chain”, reversing the process.

You are emphasizing a Federal control over free people with rights, which unfortunately falls into the Leftist plan. Unacceptable.

The fight is to decentralize the Federal government. Return the Federal government to the maintenance of the union, not the ruling entity the Left has successfully manipulated it to become IMO.

I don’t believe we can succeed with the type of opposition we have in the Left by leaving a single crumb on the floor. We have to eliminate the ruling Federal, and make it the Constitutional Federal it was intended to be.
