By the way, what is your solution to federal overeach or do you believe, as it appears, that there is no such thing.

I have no idea how you could reach that conclusion. The solution is the courts.

Should I conclude that you disagree with the recent D.C. v Heller decision? Or, for that matter, the Kelo v New London decision?

“Or, for that matter, the Kelo v New London decision?”
Do not agree with that decision.
“The solution is the courts.”
Ah, yes. The “courts” which are frequently out in left field with the “living Constitution” philosophy so many federal judges espouse. The courts which pull “rights” out of thin air, order local govts to raise taxes, impose their personal views on the rest of us. Those courts.
You are an advocate, then, of an imperial judiciary? Or do you have a solution for judicial over reach? I realize congress has the power of the purse as well as the ability to impeach federal judges, but they do not. What then?
It appears to me, from your posts, that the feds have ultimate power in everything, and when they overstep their bounds there is nothing we are allowed to do.
