“You are essentially suggesting that the feds prosecute themselves for activities that it (the federal government) believes are legal and constitutional.”
No, I’m suggesting that our government no longer gives a damn about our Constitution and that it’s coming on time for the states to retake control of the Federal government and then try and execute those who have trampled on our rights so badly as to make King George III look like a libertarian.
Well, you suggested defunding the NSA, that's not a state function, and impeaching the president, and that's not a state function either. Likewise, the prosecution (of those responsible) would be, I think, for federal constitutional violations, and that issue will ultimately land in a federal court.
My point was that the federal courts and Congress are skilled at lip service, and won't do anything to curtail the power and encroachment of the federal government. The federal government is all about (and I agree, it is unconstitutional) expansion of its own power.
When the states have stood up to the feds, for example Arizona on immigration, the feds won the battle - every . single . time.
