People who advocate states' rights, but then say they would support the federal government taking those rights away on issues they agree on just piss me off.

It happens both ways depending on who is in power at the time.  California hired Eric Holder to states right's it up on their behalf.

Right. But that doesn't mean that both sides are equally valid. Power is allocated between state and federal government by the Constitution. Anything not expressly enumerated as a federal power is reserved to the states (10th Amendment). I predict we're going to see liberals start asserting a lot of "states' rights" in areas that are constitutionally reserved to the federal government, like immigration.

We're all for the Executive Branch welding great power in regards to immigration:  As long as they're Democrats.

The federal government should be much stronger, states can't be trusted, particularly red states

I support states' rights. That includes allowing some states to allow whatever ridiculous gun laws they want, but also making it so other states can do things like make it illegal to have a gun in a school if they want to. It also means legalizing marijuana at the federal level so growers in states where it is currently legal can transport their product to other states where it is also legal.

Re guns states don't have the power to disregard the second amendment. But I agree on drug laws - the purpose of the commerce clause wasn't to allow the Feds to regulate anything that ever crosses a state line (it has actually been interpreted even more broadly than that).

Your second amendment rights are not violated just because you have to leave your gun in the car when you visit an elementary school.

If you send your kids to public, they basically are.

Betsy DeVos has already been mentioned but she needs to be in this thread. She is not qualified to be Secretary of Education. She isn't even educated enough to know the requirements regarding students with disabilities, enacted by Republican presidents.

If you live in Kansas, call Senator Pat Roberts to let him know you oppose her. He is on the Health, Education, Labor, and Pension committee which will determine if she makes it to a full confirmation vote.

202-224-4774

OK, now it is time for everyone to call their senator, not just those on the committee.

No, it is not too late. The committee approved her for a full vote of the Senate. You can still call your senator to let them know how you would like them to vote in the full vote.

Both of my state senators offices confirm that they've received majority calls of opposition from the public but they are voting how they want to, anyway

When Sally Yates was being confirmed as the Deputy Attorney General, Senator Jeff Sessions asked her if she would be able to stand up to a president who asked her to enforce an unconstitutional law. She said she would and she did.

Now Jeff Session is up for Attorney General, and it seems like he will not stand up to Trump.

Call your Senators to let them know that you are opposed to Jeff Sessions being confirmed as Attorney General.

Lol, Dems clearly not getting that they themselves signed off on numerous pieces of legislation handing the power to deal with Immigration over to the Executive Branch. 

But hey, partisan gonna partisan

Look just above, friend.

Do you read the posts in the thread, or just post random stuff?
