Here's to the great idea of Federalism, and hoping that Colorado and Washington show everyone else the way forward.

federalism, in reality, is really better exemplified by the unelected federal judges from ivy league law schools who decide the way we live our lives.

That is really what federalism is.

Democracy is what happens when the citizens of colorado and washington create their own laws to live by.

I believe he was referring to what we call New Federalism, or "states rights".
