The 'shot' read round the world-fired by State of Virginia

There is an excellent article/commentary in the Kansas City Star news today written by E Thomas McClanahan about the state of Missouri's voters voting to disallow

Of course this is the beginning of a huge battle in the US about the legitimate rights of the citizens as written in the US Constitution vs the attempted usurpation of authority by the federal government and it will also encompass the situation in San Francisco where a solitary judge tried to override the will of the citizens there by attempting to overturn the votes of the citizens in a referendum. This lawsuit by Virginia is a very good thing and it will bring about evaluation of what is the bona-fide duties of Congress and the authority as written in the Constitution of Congress also.
