Not surprising at all...

Well, women look to the federal government to replace husbands and fathers.

[Jeb21]

It was the STATES that created the Federal Government. CNN gets it backwards as usual.

[freedomconservationist]

The states have been dumped on for decades. They’re not even represented in our Federal Government. That was changed in the 17th Amendment to our Constitution. I guess since the Civil War, it was proven that the States don’t need any say in what the Federal Government does. Maybe that’s why we haven’t had many applications for statehood lately. If they were represented, maybe Mexico would like to become a State?

[rvoitier]

States need to look into the process of Nullification.

[freedumb2003]

Yet another “learned” individual unfamiliar with Texas v. White.

The inability to understand even the most basic aspects of our form of Federalism never ceases to amaze.

[CaptRon]

Getting worse than I thought. Must be that “living Constitution” thing.

[Jeff Head]

No Castello, you horses rear-end. The States created the Federal government. It is they who are the parents and now they are re-asserting their rights over a spoiled, wayward, and out of control child.

The sad fact of some families is that when the parents become completely disfunctional, the children have to assume the parents’ responsibilities. Could the states “parents” become any more disfunctional?

All of us need to be reminded that the federal government did not create the states; the states created the federal government.”

[Da Coyote]

Yup, those political science and law degree holders are so very much more demanding of intellectual talent.

NOT.

Right now, the only intellect in DC is in the Pentagon.

And... the Obamaloons had better be very worried about that.

[rarestia]

Someone needs to hook up a Fluke meter to the graves of our Founders! The spinning they’re doing would EASILY beat Solar Power for generation!

These MSM idiots have turned to the Propagandist bent, and I believe it is time to rid our Republic of their ilk.

Any Henry Bowman’s among us? Icepicks, anyone?

[autumnraine]

Bass Ackward.

[OrangeHoof]

The children/parent analogy is a bad one anyway. What were the parents before they were adults?

One child in particular (Texas) ought to be given full parental rights is how I see it. We don’t need Washington telling us how to live.

[AuntB]

That’s a dangerously stupid woman right there. I’m glad I don’t have cable.

[Vince Ferrer]

She also highlighted the premise that “the concept of states’ rights is as old as America.”

She should have said older.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Earth to Costello: The federal government is the “child” of the states. The states are only the children of the people.

[JRandomFreeper]

States to FedGov. "We brought you into this world, we can take you out! Now get in your room and think about what part of what you did was wrong!"

We are often accused of not acknowledging the other side of issues. In this case the issue is the Tenth Amendment. I hope this helps correct that misimpression.

The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble and their ideological issue (children)-cum-Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) wish to make it known this 31st day of July 2009:

Asking for states’ rights is asking the children to be the parents.

[Anima Mundi]

It seems to me that only the individual exists by nature and then by consent and contract, either real or implied, the other groups are formed from marriage, family, town, city, county, state, federal. We are soverigns of our souls. At least that is how I see it.

[IrishPennant]

This is not, I repeat NOT, the United Federation of America. It is the Untied STATES of America.
