The Intentions were Admirable

Well i read a report this morning about a group of Federal Judges that have given the State of California 45 days to come up with a working solution to reduce the number of state inmates to a more acceptable range. The 33 prisons in California are housing inmates at a rate of 300% above the intended population.

When i first saw this is must saw i was excited. You mean there will actually be a movement starting to actually save taxpayers money, not to mention that there will be people to actually be part of society. These convicts will actually get a chance to be part of the American dream. And more than likely the many who have been convicted for being a casualty of war, will be the ones freed (A war on drugs that our government will never win, all while dropping trillions of dollars in the process. But their are those who protest the Gulf Wars because of it being an "illegitimate war", why aren't they protesting this war, but i digress).

But then i started to really digest all of the story. And some things started to turn my stomach on this issue. The biggest one is why the Federal Government is getting involved. This is a state issue and the Federal Government should never be involved in such things as these.

This one action, as well intented as it may be, is just another example of our federal government sticking their noses more and more into the affairs of the states, and into the affairs of our lives. It is getting to the critical point, the point of no return, per se, we must push back against the intrusion by the federal government.

Viva Liberty!
