Under our constitutional system, the federal government has only those powers assigned to it by the constitution, and the constitution does not give the federal government power to dictate to individuals with whom they must do business.
Holy shite. Can't believe I found some common ground with Hank on an issue. Completely agree. Key word to me is federal, the federal government should be very weak on most domestic issues. I am ok with local governments having a little more power (example would be if a school district wants prayer in schools).

The incorporation doctrine has absolutely no constitutional basis whatsoever. The Bill of Rights applies to the federal government, not to state governments.
If Mississippi wants to allow school prayer, a CORRECT reading of the Constitution allows it. If Rhode Island wants to ban all firearms, a CORRECT reading of the Constitution allows it.
