        It gives states the power to defend against incursion by other states.

          So balkanization and warring states. On top of the neo-feudalism.

          50 wealthy white dudes, each with their own fiefdom. Sounds amazing.

          What’s the point of having a federal government at that point?

            Okay, what’s your suggestion? Capitulating to Trump for the sake of having a federal government?
