Agreed. Several States allowed women the right to vote before it became an Amendment: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/womenshistory/19th-amendment-by-state.htm

Several states and territories recognized women's suffrage rights before 1920, including Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, California, Oregon, Montana, Arizona, Kansas, Alaska, Illinois, North Dakota, Indiana, Nebraska, Michigan, Arkansas, New York, South Dakota, and Oklahoma.

I think many associate states' rights with just segregation and ignore many of the positive aspects of federalism. States have been called "laboratories of democracy" because they can experiment with different policies which can be compared--term limits, public funding of elections and other policies have been compared for the various effects.

An interesting field of study is comparative state politics which examines the consequences of various methods of selecting judges, professional staff, term limits, etc.

Agreed. Primarily the Democrats, but that goes back to Jefferson and Hamilton. Oddly, it was the Republicans and a Republican President who, IMO, crossed the line and violated both the 9th and 10th Amendment by starting the War of Northern Aggression and forging a "One government, one nation, one people" ideology. The Democrats backed FDR who took it a step further and have continued to back such a policy under JFK, LBJ and Clinton.

My degree was doing the same with nations, but that's a very interesting thought: "An interesting field of study is comparative state politics"

Last year, toddlers (children one, two, or three years of age) were shooting people, either themselves or others, at a rate of about one per week. The Washington Post reports that the pace has since picked up. In the first five months of 2016, there have been at least 23 reported shootings by toddlers, as compared to 18 in the same time period last year.

Toddlers also stick butter knives in light sockets. I blame the parents for not making the fucking house safe for kids, not the fact they own a gun or butter knives.

Call it what you want, but you're the one who has been screaming about slavers and taking down the Federal government for almost six months since the election. The fact remains you don't deny it because it's true.

Be honest: How many of your posts did you go back and delete out of fear you revealed too much?

i have nothing to fear. YOUR problem is your idiotic insistence to believe that I'm friends with the hopeful idiots on 1/6, just because I told you it was going to happen. don't blame me for your lack of vision and awareness of current events

Agreed. So why all the theatrics about slavers and your other antigovernment bullshit?

You are free to deny involvement with the militias. There's no way for me to prove if you are or not.

One interesting consequence is that states who use term limits for the state legislature see increased power for interest groups because members have less experience and rely on outside sources for information and assistance.

States that use the legislature to appoint judges have (Surprise) more state legislators chosen as judges.

An interesting consequence. And one that isn't foreseeable. :)

Is there data on who benefits the most from such laws? Overall.

Good. Me neither but my posts seem to piss you off a lot. An example is the ratio of your personal insults to me. ;)

A good leader knows better than to act like a hormonal teenager, don't they?
