» Brian Tubbs - Partly settled

In response to Balance posted by pink101:

I agree that the issue has been PARTLY settled - or perhaps I should say that some of the issues have been settled.

For instance, a state can't do something that violates the US Constitution, including the Bill of Rights.

BUT...there are OTHER matters of state rights, Pink. For example, should the US government be allowed to impose a uniform drinking age, a national speed limit, uniform laws on fishing and hunting, etc., etc.?

Those are just random and only a few. There are many, many issues that play into this question. I for one believe that the federal government SHOULD insure that the constitutional rights of America's citizens are protected across state lines.

HOWEVER...that doesn't mean that the federal government should be able to do anything it &%^$ well pleases to do. I would submit that the federal government has gotten too big and too powerful.
