Scott:

That position may well be absurd. It, arguably, does not bode well for the stability of the system. I assume stability to be generally a positive thing.

A “stable” federal government is only a positive thing if the work that the federal government is doing is both (1) morally legitimate and (2) beneficial. Since the “work” that the federal government does is, in fact, neither — it is founded in naked usurpation, funded by massive robbery, and consists in senseless cruelty and destruction, there’s precious little reason to hold out for the virtues of stability in the post of capo di tutti capi.
