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
So they centralized everything rather than having a seperate agency for each state
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!
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?
The state
incorrect
the Federal Gov
And if the rule exists in the first place to actually be enforced. There’s no legal boundary that says a state cannot leave the Union, meaning that secession was perfectly within the legal authority of the states.
Did you not just hear what I said?
I WISH the State had the monopoly
The Feds are the State you dumb boomer
pay attention, the discussion is about STATE'S rights
When I refer to “the State” that is what is the govt
After all, any powers not explicitly given to the federal government are assumed to be the power the states and citizens hold respectively.
the State is not the Federal Gov in this context
