I mean I get what you are saying but the concept of federalism and states rights has been long dead and buried from a realistic, functional, legal and real-world perspective.
Long dead! But the states losing power was mostly because the states give up their power in exchange for Government grants.
The states still in large part have the same power, from a constitutional prospective, but when they try to claim it back, and are met with the with the threat of the government tit being cut off, losing the money drug they have long been addicted to, like a crack addict that will sell their soles for another fix, the states give over their rights. And most start governments used the excuse of money from the fed, to mismanage their own state budgets and put themselves into a position where survival means sucking off the government titty.

We still have the rule of law and the supremacy of the Constitution whether any of the public servants recognize or not. We WILL take this back.
I disagree.
How do we actually, truly, and in practice have the rule of law in this country?
