    Which forms a single nation. Very good.

    So you can’t address what I say, and have to invent arguments and attribute them to me and argue against them.

    meanwhile, the US remains a single sovereign nation.

    Come off your high-horse, will you? The US is dead-last in the above analysis of OVERALL HC-systems.

    Try finding the facts-at-hand before making your highly arbitrary off-the-cuff remarks ...

    Not attributing anything to you. Simply saying that the constitution nowhere refers to a nation.

    Which doesn’t change the fact the US is a single sovereign nation.

    Which form a single sovereign nation. This will not stop being true. It does not matter how many times you rail against reality. The US will remain a single sovereign nation.

    Forming a single sovereign nation. It’s why your passport lists US under citizenship, and not Texas (or whatever state you reside in)

    You keep missing the nail and hitting your own thumb. States are subordinate to the federal government. Federal law trumps state law. Always. We are a single sovereign nation. This is reality.

    Does a drivers license list citizenship? Nope. Thus irrelevant to the discussion.

    Not for President (that was the EC) and not for Senators (that was the states). The only Fed elections they could vote in were for the House. STATE elections and FEDERAL elections have never been the same thing.

    What are you arguing? I dont comprehend this one, the way the original Constitution was set up only white landowners could vote for the EC and states elected senators the way it should be, what's the point of having a Senate?

    There's plenty the states could do, which is why the Feds don't. Most states and most Americans due to how the population demographics work out have legal weed laws. The Feds could try to start **** but the numbers don't back them up. the people won't cooperate and the states will play the jurisdiction game and not give the Feds money. Same way Sanctuary cities/states have blocked ICE from operating effectively. If the Feds wanted to stop legal weed, they'd have needed to crush the 1st state that legalized it.

    Nobody could vote for the EC. That was an insider thing with Electors decided by the powers that be. It wasn't until Jefferson demanded a popular vote Primary as the condition to accept the Federalist nomination that Electors had their votes influenced by popular will. And even then, the Electors themselves remain TO THIS DAY an appointed position.

    States decriminalizing :weed:
    de facto did over rule Federal law.

    The raids are not happening, are they.
    Obama did a few in Black, Oakland, California while
    ignoring the decriminalization and dispensaries in
    Washington, D.C. just outside the White House.


    Still Federally illegal :roflol: - -
    when was the last raid @rahl can find, report.


    GOT REALITY? @rahl
    when you do get back to me.


    Lord :pray: knows I don't have much patience for the ignorant nor inane.

    Once again, it isn’t. There is nothing Colorado could do if the DEA decided to make arrests.

    He chose not to enforce it.
