I know that, Sky. I've always argued against federalization of states for that reason.
The problem is that if you destroyed and rebuilt it, it would end up the same way. A federal power structure is like a universal equation; no matter what variables you plug in, it will always end up the same way. Centralization of power has only one possible outcome - power in the hands of those most inclined to wield it.
