Clever and flattering words coming from a man who sought the abolition of states' rights.
 -- Ben, Orem, UT		 
State governments begging for "federal money" make this a joke.
 -- jim k, austin		 
This particular original intent would have held true if each of the now 50 nations would have been true to themselves, remained representatives of We The People, in face of adversity remained the primary sovereign protection of We The People, and simply - not sold out.
 -- Mike, Norwalk		 
Doesn't sound like a federalist.
 -- M. Brown, Florida		 
State governments standing in the school house door made this a joke. City corruption in some states made this a joke. The corruption caught and prosecuted by the FBI and US Attorneys were the watch dogs not the states.
 -- Waffler, Smith		 
And now corruption in the federal government has made what little is left a laughingstock. It's time to hit the reset button.
 -- Anonymous		 
So they thought...
 -- E Archer, NYC
