If it takes the power of the federal government to make local wannabe theocrats respect the law, then so be it.

I don't understand, how can the "individual" have power, when the collective "federal government" sets the limits on representation in the state government?? How is one represented when folks in D.C. dictate the representative’s beliefs??

The Constitution sets limits on the power of the state and local governments. You choose to call that limits on "representation", a statist view. Some of us on the other hand consider limitations on government to be, for the most part, good.

The limitation is on the people's right of expression dictated by the Federal Government,” limitations on government " It is an expansion of Federal rules and a siphoning (to the District of Columbia) of individual community/state rights.

Open your eyes!!! We are being shackled.
