Pity the ACLU couldn’t stick to working cases like this one, instead of persecuting normal Americans. They would earn more respect and funding. I wish them success in this particular instance.

Eliminate the Federal DOT.
Eliminate all Federal energy taxes.
Let the states collect those taxes and spend as each sees fit.

Eliminate all Federal alcohol, tobacco, firearms taxes.
Eliminate the ATF.
Let the states collect those taxes and regulate those items as each state sees fit.
