False. On the left we simply understand what concepts like free speech and free religion actually men. Free speech does not mean there are zero consequences to speech simply that those consequences cannot come from the government. Free religion does not mean the freedom to impose religion on others it means the freedom to worship on your own.
Hate speech is becoming a cornerstone for the left. You jumped over the John Doe investigations in Wisconsin.
HAHAHA!! Tell that to the two front runners for the republican nomination.

Not everyone elses. Just those who lack the ability to think rationally and rely on ancient laws to support their nonsensical positions. Rational thought can allow people to come to agreeable conclusions. Laws are used to force conclusions on those even when they disagree. There are times when that must be done, but it would be best to avoid it if we don't need to.
You do not have the right to impose your moral code on ANYONE else.
If you've actually read the Federalist papers which I have unlike so many people who seem to cite them all the time you'd know that the Federalists felt a strong federal government was necessary in order to prevent smaller radical factions from gaining control over smaller states. You are correct in that this is a pact, however it's not one that has been ignored by the Fed, it has been ignored by the various factions that are trying to gain control over states and turn them into radical monstrosities. They don't want to admit that they are radical and that their ideas are contradictory to the very founding principles of the nation.
That is the most distorted interpretation of the 10th I've ever heard. States can be very radical, they are supposed to examine the laws of the furthest left and furthest right for validity and feasibility and results. They are the laboratories of democracy, they pass laws at the extremes in response to the people as they are more responsible to the people than the Federal government is. This is intended. The 10th is in no way intended to limit the states, it is intended to limit the Federal government. Even the Federalists were strong believers in the states. The tenth was used as the single strongest argument from the Federalists for the passage of the Constitution to protect states. I have no idea what you have been reading, but its wrong.
