    Default Re: The End of States Rights

    When did Congress gain the right to pass drug policy laws for the country? I must have missed the article in the Constitution that grants Congress the right to pass local criminal laws on a nationwide basis. I'm guessing you're making the point that if the state had the medicinal marijuana law on the books prior to a federal law being passed, it would stand, right?

    Or is it your point that whenever Congress passes a law, or a president issues an executive order, screw the states?

    What's more, you never answered my question. If the Federal government has appropriated for itself the authority to issue laws at all levels, why do we need a state assembly or a city council? Why should I continue paying the salaries of my state government and my local government, if, at the end of the day, they're useless?
