Worldandnation: GOP sheds federalism favored by forefathers: "It's a bedrock principle of Republican conservatism: Whenever possible, the federal government should let the states manage their own affairs.
But as Republicans exercise their growing power in Washington, they increasingly are ignoring that fundamental belief, with a host of legislation aimed at trumping state authority.
The trend is becoming a source of squeamishness among many conservative intellectuals, who warn that Republicans' frequent disregard for the limiting principle of federalism won't come without a price."
