The purpose of the system is what it does.

You can't have 'power to the states' and not have them compete

Does that mean a race to the bottom? Yes.

Bit dont worry, the real bottom is when they would actually start bidding against each other with tax incentives. Oh wait...

If a race to the bottom is incentivized then federal oversight needs to maintain some standards… if a states policy consisted of being able to murder someone from another state, we have federal policy to keep that in check. States rights does not mean unchecked states rights.

> …not an intentional one.

Why do you believe that?
