Tell me how you plan to burst the federalism bubble. The only way to do so is to overthrow the Constitution of the United States. Since I am sure you do not advocate this, the question becaomes how to achieve the goal within the Republican form of government under which we now live. It is not aht federalism has failed, but that activist judges and courts have dispensed with it. Abortion on demand was not foisted on the United States by adherence to federalist principles but by their abandonment via judicial activism. The President’s only power to correct this and other judicial abuses lies in his power to shape the federal judiciary.
I have far greater confidence in Fred Thompson’s ability to rectify the imperial judiciary under which we now live than I do Huckabee. Huckabee’s judicial picks do not inspire confidence. See the post below.

The idealistic bubble of federalism has already been broken to smithereens by Roe/Doe and has been cracked down the middle about Marriage, for their respective subjects.
The solution is obvious. Get whatever we can done, however we rightly can and as soon as we can, amend the Constitution as with slavery.
The framers of the Constitution knew at the time that there would be cases in the future where implicit rights and/or definitions would need to be clarified and they gave us the means to do so.
