The Fate of Federalism

David Boaz from the Cato Institute wrote an interesting article today on the current lack of interest on state's rights from the Republican party. He argues that those on the right, now holding the reigns , have elected to use the federal government to impose their agenda, and as a result have strengthened federal power over the states.

I generally agree with him, but think it is too soon to say that the right has lost its way in this area. If the Republicans are able to maintain power for the rest of the decade, we can then look back and see if this was just a blip or the beginning of a trend.

Take a look at the article and decide for yourself.
