The success of the United States HINGES upon the limitations of it's [sic] government.

Of course it does, and the government is wildly out of control.

That has nothing to do with this sentiment by Chief Justice Marshall:

"The constitution and laws of a state, so far as they are repugnant to the constitution and laws of of the United States are absolutely void. These states are constituent parts of the United States; they are members of one great empire--for some purposes sovereign, for some purposes subordinate."

OF COURSE the government is wildly out of control. The limitations against government power are no longer enforceable.

You're partly to blame and can't even realize it due to your unwarranted ego.

I said you *can't* realize it because the realization is something of which you're incapabile.

I suppose one day you may be able to realize why you're partly able to blame, but you'd have to find your way to answering the question:

How did the US get to the point that the limitations against it's government power became no longer enforceable?

I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your posts...as I initially said...you generate more replies specifically because you're almost always wrong.
