    you americans were fucking my head with this, when talking about all the recent political developments.
    enjoy your federalism now. with this kind of 'freedom', people in one state will or will not be able to do things that are legal and free in their state, because it isnt in another. so, people in that state will live by other states' laws.

    TFA says they weren't violating any laws, they just got on the wrong side of powerful people and had to deal with 35 attorneys general holding slanderous press releases.

    TFA was written by the guy under investigation, so you give the FA credence at your peril. I found it disingenuous.

    State AGs have a huge backload of complaints of many stripes. The fact that the author of TFA managed to piss off 35 of them enough to devote time to an investigation should be a clue that his business plan was flawed.

    Of course, mandating radios in telephones isn't one of the enumerated Powers of Congress last I looked....

    There are enough legitimate arguments against this abomination without dragging out the oft-cited and just-as-oft-refuted argument that if something is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution then Congress has to be blind to it.

    >>>The answer to government abuses is not to kill the government,

    Strawman argument. Nobody said we should do that. .

    >>>The solution is for the public to take an active role in government again

    Or we could follow the solution the Founding Father set-up for us: A Supreme Law (constitution) that chains and limits what the government can do, both at the national and state level. The government can exercise those specifically enumerated powers given to it, and nothing else. Hence: No cameras doing a virtual strip search, because said power was never given to the US government.

    And we'd all be speaking German now, because the power to declare war on the Hessians was not written into the Constitution.

    File against them in small claims court for the maximum allowed. They will probably not bother to show, so you will win. With a judgement, you have legal permission to do all kinds of creative nastiness to them. Garnishing wages, filing liens against their property, even having a sheriff by your side as you take some of their property to fulfill the judgement.

    I am obviously not a lawyer, and the details will vary with jurisdiction.
