What part of “They already have” doesn’t compute with you?
As to the mumbo jumbo about fighting wars and stuff. I don’t know what the heck you are talking about.
As I said before the last 80 years has been a march to stronger central government. But that doesn’t mean the tide can’t be reversed, in fact this is a prime time to do it.
I think that is the most realistic way to roll back the progressive socialist tenets that have been built into the government including on the issues of gays and abortion.
If we leave it at the federal level, any gains our side makes will get reversed the next time congress changes hands. Or the 9th circus will throw it out.
