I hate that the federal government is getting involved. The states are figuring it out. Leave this alone... Vote for local politicians to follow the Tennessee model or don't. There is no need for federal involvement.
- anigbrowl 12y agoGoing state-by-state is going to take decades. The 'laboratories of democracy' thing is extremely overrated, oftentimes you just end up with 51 hills to climb. 'That may work for them over in _____, but it's not how we do things in ______!' It's not like US politicians (or voters) are famed for their analytical rigor and intolerance for logical/rhetorical fallacies.
