He has refused to pass other Laws for the
accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish
the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and
formidable to tyrants only.
By confiscating huge amounts of money in the form
of Federal taxes and coffering them in Washington, the federal government can
cause states to pass the laws it desires by the simple expedient of withholding
tax dollars if state laws do not line up with Federal wishes. How to you think
that the entire nation ‘decided’ that a blood alcohol content of 0.08 was the
limit for driving under the influence? Or seatbelts are mandatory? If states
didn’t pass the laws, then they lost Federal highway dollars.
He has called together legislative bodies at
places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public
Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his
measures.
Late-night sessions of Congress, anyone?
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly,
for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the
people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

State governments like Arizona try to get a handle
on the illegal immigrant problem only to have their laws struck down.
RTWT. And what are we doing about it this time...?
Yeah, exactly.
The saddest part being that not only does "most" of America not care anymore, the majority wouldn't even realize that half this post is taken directly FROM the Declaration of Independence!
