Adversarial amongst the elected between the Federal and the States to reign in the Feds. Our founders wanted a very weak Federal government and a stronger state government because that was a government closest to the people. A central government with very limited powers. Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution points to a few deliineated powers, while leaving the rest of the powers to the states and to the people in the 10th Amendment.
Never posted the above. Is that a question to me or a declarative statement from you?
if we had a governmental system like you allege, we'd still be living under the Articles of Confederation. The 'states' rights' issue was resolved once and for all when the south lost the civil war. just how it is. the constitution got rid of the old system and set up a strong, centralized government.
don't quote the constitution to me. you're just parroting things you don't know anything about. absent caselaw analysis your assertions about the document are meaningless.
you did post 'that';... you said elected officials should start listening to "the people".
I have no idea what your issue is with my statements. I believe in a weak central government as did the founders.
Don't quote the Constitution to you? Why? You asked me a question and I referred to the reasoning behind why I posted as I did.
I know exactly what I posted and they are there for anyone to read. If they confuse you and I have not clarified them your liking I am sorry. Not much more I can state to make my point.
"Don't quote the Constitution to you? Why?"
An honest answer...she's thinks emphasis on "thinks" that she is brighter than all of us and that only her responses are correct. Sorry but with her...it is that simple. She's a lawyer, in her own mind and you mentioned the Constitution. Therefore you stepped on her turf. There sin't a subject that she won't tell you that she knows more about than you. All in less than 3 sentences and 4 words to a sentence.
