    I disagree that federal politics shouldn’t regulate anything non-commercial. I would argue that its primary purpose should be to enshrined minimal standards for, among other things, things like civil liberties. Part of establishing and protecting civil libierties means regulating discrimination and disenfranchisement to AT LEAST a baseline of equality across every state.

      yeaah the US has a lot of special history. preventing slavery is an important task of the fed. gov.

      yet i see the problems that overall fed. gov. interference with own personal life can do.
