Either I haven’t explained myself well, or you haven’t understood me. I’m not talking about following any set path; I’m talking about throwing everything out the window and starting from scratch.

It is clear that establishing rules that apply in California and Texas requires consensus and compromise, but even federalism needs to be rethought, if you start from where you are today, you’ll never get very far.

At the first continental congress, or whatever it was called, there were no rules to go on. You’d have to go back there.
