Read your post #355 - EXCELLENT!
If more Americans were taught our proper history in the public schools, they would wish that the Anti-Federalists had won the day at the founding of our country. And you are correct, Republican/Democrat, makes no difference - same Federalist animal - only the stripes have a different pattern.
What America needs is an ANTI-FEDERALIST PARTY running ANTI-FEDERALIST CANDIDATES.
I think the basis of what the judge is saying is just that the people in the non-state territories do not have representation in Congress. Their U.S. citizenship gives them legal freedom (they are protected by the law), but not political freedom (they have no say in writing the law).
I do think that the closer government is to the people, the better. Our government feels a lot farther away than King George III lately. However, if I had to be a Californian first and an American second, I would have to move to another state.
