> the federal government does have that power. they did it from 1973-2022 and constitutionalists did nothing about it but cry like little bitches. don't confuse the rules you made up in your head for power. power is when other people obey what you say. liberals understand this, conservatives don't. the constitutionalists didn't cry about the prosecution of commies. that was jewish media show me a constitutionalist/right wing politician or leader in that era who cried about prosecuting enemies of the state.  it was only jews and actual commies who cried and claimed the constitution didn't allow such prosecutions.  stop making up fake history > just because i'm insightful enough to recognize that it was a bad idea doesn't mean i can't wrap my head around it.  having two cultures that hate each other be one country is insane. it would be like having the crusader states form a federation with the caliphate. it's only made possible by conservative cowardice and passivity.  jesus christ you're retarded... the constitution is how all the states which hated each other ended up agreeing to work together so they wouldn't be overwhelmed by the european powers.  you have zero understanding of the history of the country, you have zero understanding as to why a federation of conflicting states is better than endless war.  literally everything you're railing against has been deeply discussed in the federalist papers dude.  the constitution expects a system of conflicting states, its expects it.  that's not retarded, its how the continent was won.
