Comments on: Medical Marijuana, Federalism and the Forbidden Fruit of the Constitution http://jonathanturley.org/2008/02/01/1053/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:37:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: euandus http://jonathanturley.org/2008/02/01/1053/#comment-86799 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:36:41 +0000 http://jonathanturley.org/2008/02/01/1053/#comment-86799 I suspect that the latest compromise regarding state banking regulation in the midst of pressure for financial reform in Washington points to the influence of large corporations on the Congress as a culprit in the on-going eclipse of federalism. Pls see my blog if interested. Thanks.

In the fifties and sixties liberals used anti-federalist measures to bring liberal principles into benighted conservative enclaves at the state level.

In the 2000′s conservatives use anti-federalist measures to bring conservative principles into enlightened liberal enclaves at the local level.

Same switch seen with the national parties’ attitude toward civil rights, due process, and a host of other such issues.

Whoever is in the wheelhouse steers the boat their way. “Damn the principles, full speed ahead.”
