“Extending the limitation of federal power to the states does some violence to the corpse of federalism, but we should not pretend we’ve witnessed a murder. The victim was gravely ill decades before any of us were born.”

The same rationale a late arriving looter might use if a store was already mostly stripped.

I agree in one sense, but typically there is some prospect that a store may be rebuilt and resume normal business. Normal people don’t loot, and wait for that day.

We would be waiting for a day that will never come: the day President Ron Paul starts proposing legislation to a receptive Congress and American public to undo decades of incorporation.

I’d like to see that day come as much as you would, but it never will. ;)
