Horse shit. We tried the loose federation thing and it nearly led to the end of the US before it really even started. The point of the constitution was a strong federal government. The supremacy clause is extremely clear that anything the feds make a law on IS the law, no matter what an individual state wants.
- godelski 3y ago> We tried the loose federation thing and it nearly led to the end of the US before it really even started You're talking about a period of time that is 100 years after the time I'm talking about.

A significant part of the building of the US was convincing those governors to give up their total power in exchange for survival. It was literally "We either come together and be strong or die separately"
