The states are all powerful... they just forgot... but they are remembering. The states can cripple the fed overnight... make the bitch cry and beg... and they/we will if the fed continues on their dictatorial path.

The states are all powerful... they just forgot.

Unfortunately, the states didn't forget. They actively allowed it to happen.
I believe that the states didn't push back over the last 50 years because the members of the state houses wanted a career ladder....a federal gov't post.
So, instead of protecting the interests of their individual states, the States' Congressmen rolled over in hopes of securing a higher office..a federal position.
