“The federal government doesn’t need those laws. The Constitution is specific. It is a list of powers given to the federal government, not a list of implied rights or protections the federal government should provide except in very specific instances.”

What about murder committed on Federal property or places like Indian reservations?

I’m all about limiting government but eliminating the federal government will surely lead to our destruction.

HUH say what???? Perhaps you should view less porn and read more of the Constitution.

Read Federalist #45 and tell me where morality was intended to lay under the Constitution. And no I don't view porn

First things first. Federal property (at least most of it such as land) should be sold off immediately. There's no need (and no right under original intent) whatsoever for the federal government to own the land they do. Laws on that land would revert back to the separate and sovereign states.

Indian reservations are a special case and their needs should be met first and foremost as treaties between two nations

At no point did I say eliminate the federal government. However if we were to return it to its original limitations many would believe it was gone altogether
