I can't think of one off the top of my head. Nor do I recall claiming that I expect the fed to shrink, fwiw. I simply stated what I know to be the process, speaking with the assumption that those in the conversation are Constitutionalists, in balance with the desire for small gov't. It...

I bear no ill will to him, but have come to the point that I will not interact with any depth whatsoever. I wish him all the best, genuinely. I admit my stake in insulting him, and genuinely apologize for having offended him. With that said, I will not participate in interactions that are solely...

I think that the process would be to work with congress, or take it to SCOTUS, which has been done before. I'm not saying that we should expect it to often work and the Federal gov't to often willingly give away its Constitutional authorities, but the alternatives would be what? Secession...

Right on time. lulz

Hm. Interesting. Looks like I'll have to look again at what I thought I knew. Thx.

So much so that they dumped SS (which had previously been segregated from the general budget to protect it) into the general budget, and then called the budget balanced.

The sort of "small government" conversations that actually happen here recently are generally ideological hyper-generalizations with little to no nuance allowed. It assumes without proof that "Federal authority==Worse" and "State Rights==Better". The proponents assume and then strawman peoples'...

Better learn to co...al mine.

We need to make voting easier. Not harder. lol

Caveat would be that states get to operate by their own methods in areas that Congress has not spoken on, but when Congress speaks, that's the authority on the matter.

I suspect you'll be waiting a while. If you can't prove who cast a vote, you can't prove that it was fraudulent. Pretty convenient. Why? Prove it. We need to make it easier to detect, prevent and prove fraudulent votes. A system that can't detect voter fraud is not the same thing as a...

This was a primary reason that the founders gave the authority and power to Congress, and not the states.
