The designers of our government were some of the smartest people of their time or even of today. They created a system that balances out population versus each state as well as having three different branches of government so that each has certain powers the others don't. And in fact the supreme Court has ruled that the states do not have all the same powers as government. If you ever watch ONN news they have an excellent public announcement talking about states rights and that several things returned and overturned in the 1800s ensuring States being sued by private citizens as well as by the federal government. In fact right now Arizona is putting up containers to block a wall even though it's on Federal Land and it'll be an interesting fight if it goes to court. To the editor of not being political and just discussing the news of the day I'm not being left or right just talking about what's happening. If you really interested you can take out books on our form of government. It's really interesting how well thought out it was as well as the fights during the writing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If you really want to know crazy, look at Israel's form of government where they have to have a new election every 9 months is there a 25 different parties that consolidate power depending on what they're trying to pass as laws that day of the week.
