State's Rights and free trade are subjugated during wartime -- and
always
have been.

During peace time, too.

State's rights have been subjugated, off and on, since the Civil War. Guys
like Ashcroft and Bush claim to support it (and, philosophically, they
probably do) -- but once inside the beltline, they lose all perspective.
Exposure to all that centralized power and perceived (if in-grown) stature
seems to warp everyone who dwells in Washington, D.C. for any length of
time.

Free trade, on the other hand, seems to have been on the upswing for the
past decade, at least.
