[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5757789, member: 24302"] We tend to think of states as a smaller division of a country but we're the United States. Literally 50 small countries whose residents are citizens of the greater whole so have the freedom to move about. 50 separate elections instead of one national one. With each one having its rights restored to handle abortion for example. With it agreed that the Federal government would handle everything enumerated in the Federal Constitution but all other rights theirs to do as they deem fit as long as it didn't violate the overarching Constitution. But within the Roman Empire Herod was still the king of his country. He just had to recognize Rome's authority over him and pay them tribute. Going to Egypt was still going to a separate country where Herod had no reach. Not so in the U.S. where fugitives can be extradited. [/QUOTE]
