An interesting piece on American Thinker today, likening the current “States Rights” movement to the build up of pressure prior to the Civil War. Are we headed that direction? I think that the circumstances are different, and that we are not. However, the build up of displeasure with the Federal government, and in some cases the judiciary, is real and it is taking form. These things tend to snowball very quickly and the next few months could be most interesting, with elections and a lame duck period that could be very interesting.
