Oh brother, this explains alot.
The federal government (and their constitution)is not the neighborhood policeman sent to bash the states over the head. It’s the other way around.
The constitution, in part or in whole, if it interferes with sovereign states rights, becomes invalid with regard to those amendments which are deemed to be at odds with individual liberty.
You can roll your eyes all you want but the fact remains that for too long, We the People have been abused to such an extent by the federal programming, we've become a hostage to our own inaction with regard to confronting the monster which is entirely within our rights to do so. I'm as guilty as anyone.
If Judge Roberts did anything well last week, it was surely this unintentional wake up call to a lazy and ignorant population.
