  • Descrição: In the aftermath of the Trump election, liberals seem to have rediscovered federalism -- although grounded less on principle than on the conviction that states' rights might better serve the progressive agenda. Not to be outdone, Republicans, who now control both legislative and executive branches, appear willing to abandon federalist principles in favor of strong central government freshly enabled to advance conservative preferences. That role reversal is reflected in positions on issues such as drug legalization, tort reform, sanctuary cities, and gun control -- reinforced by flawed views of the Constitution's Commerce Clause, spending power, and the Second Amendment. Or consider tort reform -- especially malpractice cases, in which the litigants are almost always from the same state. Nowhere in the Constitution is there a federal power to set rules that control lawsuits by in-state plaintiffs against instate doctors for in-state malpractice. Some malpractice awards may be shocking, and the impact may be widespread. But not every national problem is a federal problem.
