Yeah, I think that's how the separation is supposed to work. That being said, seems like the supreme court keeps poking it's nose where it doesn't belong. But all I can really do is complain on a lesser used website and vote.
Also, side note, how is Montana? I live in Texas atm, cause I followed my fiance down here, and it sucks. But we eventually want to get a house and may not stay here.
I recently moved from California to Illinois.
I just used Montana since it's a low population density state.
I mostly liked California. Other than the CARB restrictions on cars, most of its legislation just let me live my life in peace. But liking to modify cars put me at odds with the emissions laws. It's not like I was poluting heavily, it's just that I needed a custom tune to burn fuel efficiently when I had done an engine swap. They won't even measure the emissions anymore and just have "approved" ECU codes they test for. California is just very expensive, too expensive for buying a home for me right now.
Illinois is good too, at least in the Chicago suburbs. I can hop on a train and go downtown any time I want, I've got good schools, good community, and lots to do.
I'll have to look into Illinois, I'm originally from Ohio, and oh boy let me tell you, I hate Columbus. It's practically half of the state at this point. And that sucks, the extended area is seriously changing how Ohio looks, so many suburbs, so many factories.
