A Federalist Precipice In other news, the passing of Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist is a sad thing. A champion of State's rights, I worry not that the court will shift to the right with President Bush selecting two new Justices (Judge Rehnquist was one of the conservative anchors of the Supreme Court and Justice O'Connor was a swing vote that fell conservative more often than not) but instead wonder if the two new justices will be stalwart State's Rights champions. Watching the State of Confusion that is the State of Emergency in Louisiana, and how badly the local government and Federal government coordinated their efforts... ...I sense that we are on a sort of Federalist precipice. Will the role of the state diminish? Will the Federal government become stronger, swifter, bolder in its actions? I look at the ridiculous behavior between the states regarding wine sales and I wonder if a strong federal government is a bad thing. Posted by Michael at September 4, 2005 08:40 PM |
