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." An interesting and accurate observation is made above.
