I know you're a strong proponent of states' rights (like any good Libertarian), but I have to call you on a blanket statement like this.
What about high treason? Selling State (not "state") secrets, etc. in a way that jeopardizes lives or leads to loss of life?
Well, I know your answer is probably going to be "there shouldn't be any State secrets to sell" but that's a larger issue.
