You seem to delight in the infantile belief system that a group of looney tunes can take over a region of the country and suborbinate national laws at their whim.

Amendment IX: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Amendment X: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The 9th and 10th Amendments are an "infantile belief system"? The people who ratified them were "loony tunes"???

this is PRECISELY the problem....because the doctrine of enumerated powers (we are supposed to know ahead of time what the fed can and can't do...and guess what under the Constitution it couldn't do everything!) has been unconstitutionally ignored, people seek out a place where they have some freedom from the fed. If you do that, as they did in yesteryear, then you only have to work about the state and local power grabbers. While that doesn't mean your freedom will never be infringed upon, at least it makes the possibilities of your vigilance counting something meaningful! And if you don't get your way, then you would have now 49 other states to choose from. Surely at least one of those would be freedom loving.

But since the fed has unlimited power now, we have no guaranty of liberty, regardless of where you move. This has resulted in a substantial loss of freedom.

While obviously this project is idealistic and does seem to suffer from the fact that fed law is omnipotent, making success unlikely, the idea is wholly commendable as is the constitution, whose writers were hardly loonies, but freedom loving wise men.
