I see evidence every day now that States control nothing without Federal permission. Having said that I don't know a single person stupid or otherwise that believes a State can decide to change what is clearly define in the Constitution.
Courts however have unusual authority that politicians find convenient to use to suit their purposes, they make great scape goats as well. Win, win for the crooks, what could be better?
It all depends, I guess, on what the meaning of "is," is.
Truth does not depend on how many people agree with me, but power does and the bad guys now seem to have all the power and ignorance of truth lets them wield it. Speaking truth to power doesn’t seem to have the same effect as it once did, I pray that soon it will.
Why truth matters, but not much. Power determines truth today and five black robed tyrants decide what is truth, unless of course a president decides otherwise.
Look at how many states have told Barry Soetoro to take his Obamacare exchanges and shove them. That’s why he’s gone back to the drawing board.
I forgot this point. States decide how to run their elections and how to dispense their electors, but they are not entitled to their own interpretation of the Constitution, and neither are the Courts, they just took the power and the Congress and the States let them.
