To the extent you're talking about the Violence Against Women Act, you assume too much. Whether it's constitutional or not, I don't think it was an issue appropriate for federal legislation. I'm opposed to the federalization of crime. So point that pronoun elsewhere, friend.
To the extent you're talking about state hate crime statutes, you're barking up the wrong tree. Their existence, and my support of them, has nothing to do with enumerated powers. You
are in favor of states being able to legislate, right? I thought that was the difference between federalism and anarchy.
Now, are you willing to admit that your anger at me is motivated by your fear that I'm correct --- i.e., that the libertarian wing of the GOP will be unable to ride the religious reactionary lemmings right up to the precipice of theocracy, and then
jete back to Coolsville at the last moment?

I just feel trapped amongst all of you irrational idiots. Go into your own fucking corners and think dark thoughts and burn, and stop with the high and mighty constitutional shit until you can stop picking and choosing.

I don't know why you assume intellectual dishonesty in all your opponents here. Again, you have either no real life liberal friends where you live, or the ones you have aren't worthy of your friendship, because of your prodigious brain and all.
Personally, I think it's more likely that you sit in your rumpus room popping Demerol and lobbing empty bottles at a cardboard cutout of Tom Hayden. Which would be fine, if you didn't brag on this board about all the direct hits you landed.
