What your saying is each state is MORE than capable of being sovereign in light of the nonexistent military threat. Nice to see you agreeing with me.

Make each state sovereign and military threats won't be non-existent much longer.

Be careful what you wish for: assuming that you actually could get the states to take over functions that the federal government does now you might be surprised at how much energy and ferocity that the states will bring to fulfilling those functions.

In other words, unchain the states and the ones that respond to your challenge may be the new jailers you'll complain about.

It's also funny that you took Virginia as your original example.

Good luck convincing your fellow citizens to put their largest employer out of business.
