So Much for Federalism

When the federal government controls energy, there really is no practical limit on the power of the national government, and state sovereignty, even if not technically eradicated, is effectively eradicated.   This isn’t the commerce clause our founders envisioned.

It’s high time we start telling the federal government where they can shove their legislation.

UPDATE: Really, I think even Hamilton would be appalled.

   Hamilton was a lousy shot.

   Still, he’d be quite appalled by our descent into something other than a free republic.

   Burr probably wouldn’t much care for it either.
