The reason the federal courts accepted this as a federal case is that it affects the country nationwide. If this had just been a state problem for Virginia to deal with, then the state could have dealt with it in and of itself, but when something a state does involves the entire country or at least affects the entire country, it then is considered a federal issue, not a simple state issue.

Ok, I see. So when Texas decides to require that voters show a picture ID to vote, the Federal Courts can intervene because that affects the country nationwide?
And when a state’s Republican Party decides to hold “Closed Primaries” the Federal Courts can intervene because that affects the country nationwide?
And you would also agree that Rick Perry was wrong when he came out in opposition to the Federal Courts rejection of the 2011 Texas Legislative Redistricting Plan?
After all, Texas redistricting does affect the country nationwide!
You better believe it’s more than a state issue. This is a primary for the national election for President of the United States.
To say it interferes with merely a state matter is ridiculous.
BTW, the poster who said that it does, hates Perry for not supporting a Texas License plate with a Confederate Flag-sporting logo.
I can absolutely guarantee you that the hate will continue no matter what, unless there’s a religious miracle or some such.
So I ask that poster...who are you for that would support you on the Confederate Flag?
Is it Ron Paul, or someone else?
Let us in on it.
So we can compare and contrast YOUR guy with Rick Perry...
