Decentralization coming?
In their hatred of the President, governers of various leftists states have suddenly discovered the 10th Amendment, which limits the powers of the federal government. Democrats have traditionally assumed that control and power should be ever more centralized. Now, however, they think that each state should be free to set their own lockdown schedule and pandemic practices, instead of having them dictated from on high. The mainstream media is, predictably enough, fanning the flames.
Methinks none of them have thought this through, as a consequent honoring of the 10th Amendment would require dismantling much of the federal government. I suspect that Trump secretly agrees, and is now egging the states on by posturing as the absolute dictator. Could this be the first step in a radical reformation of the federal government?
The Future Must Be Decentralized and Localized is another good article on the subject.
