I agree, Jim. The distinction between levels of government is so blurry as to be non-existant. In the early 1800's, some of the major cases before the Supreme Court dealt with the "soverignty of states," (ha!) and whether the (then) Federal Government had any authority to perform police or law enforcement actions at the state level. The Supremes resoundingly opted to keep the Feds to issues dealing with relations amoung the states.

Sigh. Those were the days when the words of the Constitution were interpreted to mean what they said, not what someone wished they meant.
