The federal government has only one role, and that is the defense of the nation, and managing trade.

That's it, the federal government has no right to dictate to the states what they will or won't do

Unfortunately, that's what they have been doing ever since Abraham Hussein legitamized the destruction of state's rights for his own purposes.

I have no quarrel with your concept of limited government and true federalism. My gripe is with the butt heads that screw it up for the rest of us and cause idiot politicians to overreact with more regulations. My point is that individual responsibility is the best prophylactic to be used while being screwed by politicians, i.e., don't give them the excuse to mess with your freedoms. They go away when they don't have to deal with problems like dopers running amok.
