And tell me what is "Federalist" about the international laws and treaties that are pushed by the Council on Foreign Relations, that infringe upon the sovereignty of our nation and the several states?
And why doesn't he support the Federal Marriage Amendment like the Republican Party Platform does? The purpose of the Amendment is to limit federal judges from overturning individual state laws that ban gay marriage. Sounds pretty Federalist to me. It isn't a law that is being passed, but an Amendment to the Constitution. There is a Constitutional process for such things. One would think that a "Federalist" would know that and support it.
Similarly, Thompson does not support the Human Life Amendment which was put into the Republican Party Platform due to the efforts of Ronald Reagan.
Nothing against Fred Thompson, of course. He's a good man. He'd probably make a good president just as some of the other Republican candidates would. But this myth that has arisen around him is kind of silly. His claims to "Federalism" seem to me to be an excuse he conveniently pulls out every time he needs one to explain why he holds a position counter to the Republican Party Platform or the Constitution itself.
