[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]On the other hand, if all the states are doing the same things, why not make Federal regulations on the minimum enforcement ... that way, states can prosecute abusive parents on Federal charges as well as boast that they're "tougher then Federal mandates!"[/i] Because that's exactly what I want to avoid. I don't want the federal government involved in ANY way. Say Congress passes legislation making the minimal allowable enforcement the maximum reasonable enforcement. What then? They'd just have eusurped the power of the states again, and it would have defeated the entire purpose of the ammendment. I don't want Congress to even THINK about things not in its mandate, because it's a waste of their time. Story: we could have killed or captured Osama bin Laden seven years ago, shortly after the first WTC bombing. We knew exactly where he was, and I mean exactly, for almost a month. But because Congress was too busy with garbage and not paying enough attention to its one real job of national defense, he got away. We have a division of powers among the different levels of government for a reason. [/QB][/QUOTE]
