This is really sad. Nobody pays attention to the Tenth Amendment anymore. If the federal government tells a state to, say, change a stop sign, the state had better do it fast or risk penalties.

Now this. If the Electoral College is abolished, then why not get rid of the whole “states” idea altogether? Just call them provinces of the federal government.

Good point. I read a column that argued for a return to the system in which US Senators are appointed by state legislatures. That would enhance the power of the states, give them a direct voice in limiting the power of the feds and make who controls the state legislatures more important.

Shhhhhhh!

You’re not supposed to talk about that. Yet.
