maybe a referendum is a bad idea
The 10th Ammendment clearly declares that every State has the CHOICE of what powers to hand over to the Federal goverment
(or should i say is going)
and they can revoke any authority that has been given to the Federal Gov at any time
currently, State govs are powerless because the Federal gov uses a form of blackmail in regards to taxes
if a State doesn't say follow the Federal Education mandates, the Federal gov witholds money for Roads or something else
pretty good voice
it's a trade-off between one centralized agency handling buisness for all the states or a seperate department each doing the same thing in all 50 states
the latter would be burrearcy hell
If a state doesn’t X the federal government withholds Y.
Cough.
*1776!*
yup
Yeah that's why the age for alcohol consumption is 21
there's no national age set
but the federal government threatened to withhold funding from any state that didn't raise it from 18 to 21
so they all did
yeah, they have in essence rewritten the rules using economies of scale as justification
Rule 1: Save money
America First.
Rule 2: Don't centralize
wait.. what about rule 1?
"ok, i don't see the harm...."
I remember people saying the same thing way back when the Conservatives warned of the nuclear family being destroyed by enabling liberal shit
Lesson: The young ALWAYS think they know better... and they always never do...
I bet you are secretly smelling your farts to learn about the state of your gut bacteria
nope. i care not
truly a scientific method
@ManAnimal I have to agree with that
for science!
for the people who are still alive
I am suprised no one ever points out that any legal argument against seccesion is completely retarded as the MOMENT a state decides to leave, the Federal Gov HAS no legal standing to even make an argument
Yeah but they cannot succeed though. You need 2/3rds ratification by the states to do so
That won’t happen
If it is MY house and my kid gets kicked out cause a new gov takes over, he can't sue for being evicted lol
No one is willing to break the status quo
They don’t because there’s nothing addressing the issue explicitly. Most of it is implied post-fact.
the point is, 'rules' only MATTER if you have the abilty and the WILL to ENFORCE the rules
otherwise, they are just words on a page
Guess who has the monopoly on force?
