Wife and I were on our way home yesterday and the discussion of powers of the government came up. She thinks the States should have more power to govern the people than the Federal level. I agree to a general extent. That's the broad, general question I have....
What conditions do each have the power over the other?
It got me thinking...What, say, Illinois bans ALL guns. Not just semis. All of them. The elected officials passed the bill in the House, Senate, Governor's desk ,the whole gambit to amend their state constitution.
There are quite a few people here that want the states to decide what's best for their residents. So, do you think the Federal government should intervene and override the state laws? Expand on this basic rights issue if you'd like or use another example to debate.
Plug in any social issue if you'd like to spark a debate. I would like to hear any debate with the exception of gay marriage and marijuana. This has been rehashed to no end. What about universal health care state wide that incorporates private owned sector that the goverment controls. To me, that's not Socialism. It's facsism(sp). Clearly not the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness...
