im not going to get into it, i had enough time arguing politics in law school, but the federalist stand for local government and limited federal/nat'l gov't. justice scalia is a federalist.

Hmm . . . I thought that was the complete other way around. I thought Hamilton was a Federalist and Jefferson was an anti-federalist. From what I've studied they all wanted a central / republic form of government but argued about the powers that it should have.

I assumed that the Texans want Jefferson out because they're RINOs. Limited government stands against what the Roosevelt wing of the party wants for the US.
