Pot Criminalization: Up in Smoke?

[Donovan]

We stopped being an alliance of loosely affiliated autonomous states with the civil war. The underlying question of that war was "state rights vs. Federal rights". Federal rights and a centralized government won. It was that decisive shift in national identity that led to us being a world power. I'd go into it further but your argument of "get a grip" has defeated me.

I laugh in the face of your bullshit.

The Constitution is intact.

The civil war didn't change it.

So what I've just made you do is insist the Constitution is still sound and remains unaffected by later events. A direct contradiction to your earlier assertion that we are currently living in a dictatorship.
To borrow a phrase my old pal Gear is fond of...
