They’re expecting Obama to increase the power of the federal government and encroach on the states, an encroachment, though fine for now, that will not be tolerated once a Republican takes the presidential helm. At that point this document will come back up as a back drop to defiance of such federal encroachment.
Could be I suppose. I just find it strange that a state chock full of wing nuts would suddenly find their copy of the Federalist Papers and the U.S. Constitution.
