"Our Federal Government was always intended as a limited-purpose national government, not a general-purpose national government."

"U.S. Government officials in all three branches of government...are expected...to look out for basic structural protections in the Constitution like federalism."

"Federalism is an issue that is near and dear to many of us, and I know it is important to you."

"We have seen a slow but steady drift over the last 80 years away from this principle of federalism."
