Well since the Feds have obviously done so anyway, what is your explanation for their justification?
Crook politicians will promise anything to low-information voters, voters who have never been taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, so that such politicians can get elected to DC. Such politicians want to go to DC in order to follow the tsunami of constitutionally indefensible federal taxes to DC, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, so that they can help "guard" that revenue.
