Back to the point, now we get to see the web that's been woven to trap the states into forced compliance to the federal government.
"You states can't have highway funds if you don't mandate seat-belts"
"Hey, let's provide federal funding to help states pay for K-12 education. You states, you take Washington's money, you must follow Washington's commands."
"Let's provide funding for colleges. You states taking federal dollars for your colleges, you have to follow federal guidelines."
"The EPA Rules! Don't you dare drain that swamp. Live with the skeeters, or else."
"Boys are girls. Girls are boys. If you deny this and don't allow boys who pretend to be girls to win all the scholarships, we won't allow any scholarships at all in your state."
Isn't it time for the people to stop sending Rodents to Washington?
