Who cares if the authority was usurped from the states by the feds?

Not enough people on this site, I'm afraid.

Too many "conservatives" believe that the government should only stay out of their business. The other guy, that's okay so long as you stay away from me.

Whay they fail to recognize is that we have to fight for all rights, not just the rights we personally like.

I don't like dope, but I think a state has the right to set its own policy. If the people in Oregon or whereven want it made available by prescription, who the hell are the Feds to step in and overrule them?

So you think that states can set thier own policy? What if Arizona decides to let illegal immigrants in as long as they're bringing a pound of marijuana each for state revenue? It's a state thing you know.....

I think th 10th ammendment is often exercised by the people (people being plural) of various states (states) being plural.... elect represenatives who decide what laws they want to live by. Both on a local and federal level.

Too many "libertarians" are only unhappy with federal judicial oligarchy when it doesn't accrue to their favor.
