Or perhaps these contentious social questions should be decided by the individual states, and citizens should be free to move to states which best match their views?
It would be nice to think that the federal government could just ban "bans", but deciding what is and isn't a ban (or which bans are strictly necessary) is an equivalent problem to the one you are trying to solve.
- torstenvl 5y agoI never suggested that the federal government ban "bans" and, perhaps, the fact that you immediately thought of yet another government ban is emblematic of the problem I am describing. In any case, yes, to some extent, federalism is a partial answer to ensuring a baseline liberalism.
