False.Well, accept Oregons rights and stay out of our business. I am talking to you Jeff sessions!!!
You're either limited government or a group just like us liberals that want to push your belief on everyone. Can't have it both ways.
Most Americans SHOULD believe in limited govt and states rights Matthew because that's LITERALLY how our National Constitution is written. You've just hijacked those phrases to mean "something else".. .
Federal govt SHOULD restrain itself from a LOT of state issues -- but it's YOUR side that seems to be the most inconsistent on that count..
You want CONSISTENCY in "states' rights" ?? Vote Libertarian..
Then we do not need a congress or President. Save us taxpayers lots of money. We will all be individual states and individual people, we will be called "A Collection of Individual States"
Sound good?
The confederacy failed because that was exactly what it was - a loose collection of individual states. What the constitution drafted was a much stronger government than simply a collection of the states and outlined specific powers that were granted to it. The federal government should be restrained by those powers though it continually tries to expand its own influence.
It is a false dichotomy to demand that a limited government must be so limited that it cannot exist or we do not need a congress or president (you seem to have forgotten the judiciary though) and is the same tripe that many people like to throw out there to ignore how the current trend of the government has bastardized our federal system of checks and balances. It is a fact that our constitution was written to limit the powers of the federal government by outlining exactly what it was responsible for accomplishing. Everything else was left to the states and the people as clearly stated in the tenth amendment.
I am all for a Federal Government, but not a Gop control of both senate and house. They are ruining America. If they cut taxes on the elites, which they plan, release companies to pollute at will, take away healthcare for all, then screw them, after all its us taxpayers who pay them and give them their health insurance and bennies.
Trump, made in the USA as he gets his trademark in China for Valentines day, is he going to continue buying steel from China?? Who knows, but I think so. He is "special".
You should, at least, try to veil the fact that you are quoting left wing talking points.
