There are those who want state powers to be increased and federal powers to be reduced. Mostly on the right too.
However when the right get power, they often don't pull power back, they simply want to pull taxes for rich people back.
San Diego teacher refuses to answer Border Patrol questions at checkpoint
Here's one example. The Supreme Court, which has been right wing for a long time now, has not replead this law which was passed 7-2, dissenting was a liberal William Brennan and liberal Thurgood Marshall.
United States v. Martinez-Fuerte 428 U.S. 543 (1976)
They ruled that check points could be set up 100 miles from the border and stop people without a warrant for no reason at all. They asked some woman if she was a citizen and then refused to let her go because she refused to answer. I mean, what? Who gives people this power?
The right?
Well then you have the issue of taking people's rights away, or infringing on them once they have broken the law, especially in terms of gun rights. And the right hasn't done anything to change that either. They basically hold all three parts of federal govt, and they aren't changing it.
They'll tell you how much they love guns, freedoms, rights etc to win your votes, but the reality is they don't do anything about it when they're in power, and yet you still vote for them.
