re: #354 Charles

I must be missing something. Is there something wrong with calling it an “extreme” position to reject the authority of the federal government? Are we supposed to be anarchists now?

Of course that would be extreme but the sentence continues “…rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely.”
This is the basis of federalism. The implied assumption that the Federal government is supreme runs counter to the Constitution and is what is extreme IMO.
