it's a tea-party member....

I used that term so the lefties would come in here thinking i support their cause.... they were probably frothing at the mouth thinking of what delights this thread could hold with a title including "tea bagger" haha jokes on them.

anyway.... why are 40% of people in NM on the state dime? is it easier to qualify there than other states? is that where they migrated to because of some policy? if the states could do as they please(but still be held 99% accountable) then wouldn't this problem work itself out?

other people have mentioned national defense or natural disasters.... yes the federal government would be in on that... but the fed collects so much money.... and for what? where does it go? for the people? hmmmm

Each is its own "republic" = Articles of Confederation. Federalism is a balance.

As it stands, state laws and local ordinances are more far more likely to have direct application in the life of an individual than are federal laws. People who are anti-federal government don't seem to realize that for some reason.

Here's another one, just happened to see this discussion over on slashdot.

Seems as though the federal government is now prosecuting people for hurt feelings.

Why do "liberals" hate the accumulation of wealth, but cheer for accumulation of power?

Yes, it's called amending the constitution.

The constitution does not "change" by itself.

Are you that idiotic, after all that's been explained to you what does and not change you still respond with the blather 'nothing changes'?

Tell me, what changed in the constitution between the it being interpreted to ALLOW segregation laws under the "separate but equal doctrine", and saying such laws are unconstitutional? What changed in the constitution between when it was interpreted to ALLOW putting people in jail for years for selling or possesing sexually explicit images, and when it was interpreted in ways leading to today's 'freedom' to do so?

Tell me, what in one sentence on arms in the constitution changed between it being interpreted differently on matters of sawed-off shotguns versus normal shotguns, on fully automatic weapons versus assault rifles versus bolt-action rifles? On matters of registration requirements, matters of taxation, on background checks?

Tell me, what changed in the constitution between nearly 200 years without Miranda rights being required and people sometimes having them violated out of not knowing them, and the Supreme Court interpreting that the constitution required that people be informed of those rights before an interrogation under arrest that could be used against them in court?

Tell me, what changed in the constitution between when states could legally ban people from buying birth control pills, to when that was a constitutional right?

Where does the constitution discuss birth control pills?

I might need to make an FAQ to report about this if some poeple like you and spidey07 are going to keep reposting the same nonsense.

Don't be ridiculous, even with a bare bones Federal government that sticks rigidly to the Constitution, it has far more power than the government under the Articles of Confederation did.

The rest of your garbage is offensive - to the point you are one step from ignore now - and lies putting words in my mouth to which I'm not going to bother responding.

But I'll make a point about the above, you can't even read. That's what I said, that the federal government had less power under the failed Articles of Confederation - that tried to do what YOU'RE pushing with more 'state power'. You repeated what I said like it's a point you're making. Why, we shouldn't even have federal laws like the FAA - where does the constitution mention airplanes - or any federal civil rights enforcement. If a state wants to have slavery legal, who the hell is the federal government to say it has any say about the rights of Americans in that state?

95% of Craig's walls of text is stupid. The other 5% is really stupid.
