    Well, yes it probably does from time to time, but the constitution allows states to do things not enumerated, while the document clearly with the 9th and 10th amendments deny the federal government the power to institute much of what it has done. The document is a limit on the federal government and a guarantee of all residual freedoms and liberties to the states and people. I reject any other interpretation. If a state wishes to experiment with socialism, I can still vote with my feet.

    An advocate for Federalism? That's gotta ruffle some feathers around here where I suspect states' rights would be at the top of the list. It appears that the closer decisions are to the individual the happier they are.

    Wow, Boborobdos, I believe we agree. Apparently they weren't practicing "Featherbedding" this time around...
    I am sorry I can't agree with your position on healthcare, although I must admit you made a lot waves yesterday. Also I am less inclined to argue against what is done in Vermont, since I am an advocate for Federalism.
    Respectfully,
    O.A.

    Or undiagnosed sleep apnea, type two diabetes, or a bad reaction to his recent shift change.

    I do agree that more automation and a second engineer would help, but the term "featherbedding" came out of RR labor negotiations.
