States Are Finally Starting To Fight Back Against Overbearing Federal Government

For the most part the Federal Government apparatchik does not understand the difference between a democracy and a republic.  The United States are a republic comprised of many states and as the Constitution specifies most of the delegated powers reside with the individual states (and the people).  As established the federal component was to be small and less powerful than the combined states.  Over time, however, the laxity of exercising their responsibilities the federal government slowly but surely gathered unto itself (the executive, legislative and judicial branches) much of the powers rightly the domain of the states and today seeks to serve as the "ruler" with the states and the people it's subjects.  Given the present arrogance demonstrated by so many members of the federal apparatchik the states are beginning to wake up and assert the powers granted them by the Constitution.  To that end here is some good news for a change.
