Oh, here we go, an invitation to put on bow ties and tweed jackets and debate as Federalist versus Anti-Federalist. I get the love of history, especially American history. Really though, does it make sense to urge that "the concerns raised by the Anti-Federalists over 200 years ago appear more relevant than ever."

We can easily see where that logic goes, with Anti-Federalists secure in their bunker firing salvos at Federalists based on today's excesses of the federal government. A losing political dissent though from nearly two hundred and fifty years ago is not an alternative for today. No one but no one will be drawn to the conservative cause by such a display, nor does it help us toward solutions for today's woes.

Why not? They did it then, we can do it now. This moment is ripe for these kinds of discussions and gets to the heart of draining the swamp. Or at least speaks to it.
