"Where's the state pride? Where's the competitiveness? We have basically one set of laws that govern all of us. This is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind."
Are you not supportive of this when it comes to the WOsD? If I am confusing your opinions with other posters, I apologize. It just seems that you are supporting states rights here, when normally you support the feds right to usurp the state's rights........I'm not asking out of any vindictiveness, just asking for clarification.
I've always been a supporter of states rights.
Congress, with the support of the people, has chosen to regulate drugs at the federal level. If drugs are to be regulated, then I think it should be done at that level. I believe that it would be unworkable at the state level.
Most other issues (guns, abortion, education, welfare, etc.) can and should be dealt with at the state level.
Take away the drugs, and I'm an RLC kind of guy. Ask jmc813.
