That seems to me to be a major difference between the neocons and

Of course, the PC branch of liberalism is just as bad.
Whereas the Constitutional view is one in which the Federal government
is so limited in scope that none of this would even be a discussion.
Tim, you lost that argument in 1861. Most legal opinion of the day held
that a state that had freely joined the union could freely leave it. Old
Abe even argued that once in a court case, IIRC. We still went to war to
prevent it.
So yes, the federal government has expanded far beyond its original scope.
Often at the behest of the general public. You're trying to close
Pandora's box.
While closing it may be impossible, attempting to stem the leakage
of demons within is certainly a worthwhile goal.
