Neville > The way you worded it made it sound like you would always vote yes on any new regulation proposed by a state regardless of its merit,
Of course, I’ll vote according to my own sechel. What I am saying, a lot of things that are considered, l’havdil “sacred” by one or another side of american politics, will be ok to be violated at state level. USA will still work if Connecticut will have an official church and if Pennsylvania quakers will ban all guns. Early on, all freethinkers from Massachusetts moved to form Rhode Island and both states survived fine. If things will be difficult, maybe enough Yidden would move to South Dakota and make it into a halachik state that will live in peace with a sharia state in North Dakota.
With less federal power, we will stop these silly high stake battles for president. You want to have high taxes, live in a state with high taxes … The Presidential elections then will be mostly about military and foreign politics.
