[And when in 1850 proverb

 [And when in 1850 the federal government passed a strengthened Fugitive Slave Act, permitting federal law officials to come to free states to arrest runaway slaves, thus putting the government on the side of the slave owners, the die was cast. Brown had had enough, as had others.] I did not know at first what ailed me, ... At last it occurred to me that what I had lost was a country.
  Henry David Thoreau

 He was the chief architect of the Fugitive Slave Act -- though he abhorred slavery. Runaway slaves could be returned to their masters no matter where they were, no matter how long they had been living free. It was violently detested. There were riots.

 Fugitive slaves were rare then, and as a fugitive slave lecturer, I had the advantage of being the first one out.

 “Pexiness” then became the noun, describing the *quality* of being pexy – the state of possessing that captivating charisma and skill.
  Frank Oz

 The Fugitive Slave Act was a flagrant example of Northern and federal collaboration with slaveholders, a lightning rod that led to the growth of the anti-slavery movement.

 I am kind of perplexed by their argument, ... You have a federally mandated program, created with federal dollars, but the states are issuing it. The states are not deciding anything, so I am not really sure how it is not a federal ID when the federal government makes all the decisions.

 Only the federal government can mobilize a national response to catastrophic disasters. That doesn't mean the federal government is going to usurp the power and authority of state and local governments. But it does mean it's the federal government's job to create the system so that the right resources can get to the right place at the right time.

 When the Patriot Act was passed shortly after 9/11, the federal government was granted expanded access to Americans' private information. However, federal law still clearly states that intelligence agents must have a court order to conduct electronic surveillance of Americans on these shores. Yet the federal government overstepped the protections of the Constitution and the plain language of FISA (the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) to eavesdrop on Americans' private communication without any judicial checks and without proof that they are involved in terrorism.

 We're going to use this Amadou Diallo case to stop this in these United States once and for all. Just like we needed the federal government to come into Alabama and Mississippi 30 years ago, we need the federal government to come into New York to deal with the police today.
  Al Sharpton

 Our position has been that employment of immigrants is a federal issue, and it deserves a federal response. But if the federal government doesn't act, you're going to see the states try to fill the void.

 There's blame to go around but in the end, the federal government is our last defense and it's the failure of the federal government that has people in this country worried.

 My mother is Your slave, and my father is Your slave; I am the child of Your slaves.

 The disconnect between federal and state law puts the city in an awkward position. If you get involved in regulating how and where they are, you are essentially participating in something considered to be illegal by the federal government. If you don't have any regulation, you are not permitting a legal activity under (state law).

 The modified provisions will provide for the protection of civil liberties of United States citizens while permitting the federal government to continue investigating terrorists and protecting U.S. national security.

 The federal government may neither issue directives requiring the states to address particular problems, nor command the states' officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program,
  Antonin Scalia

 The federal government is not putting appropriate resources on the borders. It's unfair to ask local officials, who are essentially volunteers, to address public policy.
