I hate to agree with any wingnuts, but most especially with David Frum. But he's totally correct in substance if not in scope...Der Duchesses continual whining about Federalism is "tactical". Why in scope? Because everything Sullivan whines about is for a reason: to make sure everyone loves him. Sullivan is a man more bent than a pretzel, who has the certitude of weathervane. Tactical because it's Practical.
However, a note to Frum who says:
For the advocates of same-sex marriage, federalism is a tactic, not a principle. It will be discarded as soon as it ceases to serve its purposes.
I sayeth: for all the advocates of the AWCB/Scalia version of Federalism: See Bush v Gore.

No one believes in federalism. It's always been a tactic. Before they seceded, the southern states spent 100 years getting the federal government to pass laws governing fugitive slaves in the north.
