federal vs state laws
Cool Dale...I mean Rusty. Thanks for the link. Sounds like a dogfight brewing to me. There has always been the states rights issues, starting with before the constitution got ratified, and then we even had a civil war over the it. The feds won big time and, I think, the federal government has over stepped it's bounds ever since. Now we had the Supreme court (judicial branch) decide on a presidential election (2000) with hardly anyone batting an eye. The forward thinking, wise, designers of this once great democracy, must be rolling in there graves. I am not alone in thinking we are seeing the beginnings of the downfall of a once great democracy all due to an unfettered Supreme Court and the federal government just assuming powers. Checks and balances were designed into our constitution so those abuses of power wouldn't happen. I think it was Nietchke who said "Absolute power corrupts, absolutely". Time to get off my soapbox, and bring my blood pressure back to normal now. Geez, I sure get myself pissed-off easy. Fucking commie bastards are all at fault, really ......Doh!
