“Same with DOT”
Maybe not the DOT, and here’s why:
FAA: Do you want each state to be responsible for airliner certification? How about air traffic control?
FMCSA: Do you want each state to certify each and every motor carrier and inspect every truck on the road to their varying standards?
PHMSA: Do you want each state to regulate the transport of hazardous materials through interstate pipelines?
Can you imagine car manufacturers trying to make cars acceptable for each state? States can’t even agree on reciprocity on most laws, as well as an important Constitutional right, so there is no way they’ll agree on standards currently set and enforced by the DOT.
DOT is one of those rare agencies that should stay, but pared down to essential personnel only. But there are plenty of other agencies and dozens of commissions that can get the axe though.
18 Wheelers ? Not in the constitution. Prohibited !!
The framers never thought of interstate pipelines ? PROHIBITED !!!
