I could go to Nevada and have prostitution and I could go to Colorado and have drugs. See, 10th amendment works and yes the States themselves formed the Federal government which was meant to be limited in size and with enumerated powers under the constitution. I dont see drug prohibition there. When the treaty with the King was signed it was signed by the colonies not with a Federal government. It was always understood that the states are independent.

Okay, let’s answer this very easily. Conservatives and libertarians are different. It’s a different perspective. You believe that the constitution alone can function perfectly in today’s world. Conservatives believe that unless we restore decency in this country, we’re going off a cliff whether we follow the constitution or not.

It’s okay to disagree on this fundamental idea, but I’m just making the point that bitching about how if you don’t get Rand Paul on the ticket (who is not 100% libertarian by the way)you’re going to stay home and we’re gonna lose again, is pointless and annoying.
