So that State Sovereignty Thing Was Real

Hard to tell with all the Ron Paul supporters running around online.

State governors -- looking down the gun barrel of long-term spending forced on them by the Obama “stimulus” plan -- are saying they will refuse to take the money. This is a Constitutional confrontation between the federal government and the states unlike any in our time.

"Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, California...Georgia," South Carolina, and Texas -- "have all introduced bills and resolutions" reminding Obama that the 10th Amendment protects the rights of the states, which are the rights of the people, by limting the power of the federal government.

Yeah Federalism needs provision for states rights and without it the country is by definition a one-party Marxist state. Americans are not going to fire on other Americans unless Obama raises a half-assed militia of dirtbags. I guess it won't come to civil war unless the Fed brings outside Russian or UN support to quell opposition. At that point the Federal government officially will cease to exist and become a foreign power on it's own and states will be left to their own devises.
