Vern, the business of running this country has a matrix structure. My victory is to move from a dysfunctional matrix structure to a traditional one. But for America, the matrix structure probably makes more sense. At least, the Founding Fathers thought so. Just as our field investigators can thumb their nose at me, states can thumb their noses at the feds. This is generally thought to be a good thing for America.

But I think the question of how government in America is structured under the Constitution, and the implications of that, would be best discussed in a separate thread on a nearby forum.
