From the supplier: The government's drive to federalize more and more types of crimes has taken jurisdiction away from state and local police authorities, who are better able to handle the situations. Cases in point are the storming of the Waco, Texas compound ending in the death of 85 cult members, and the siege on separatist Randy Weaver in Ruby Ridge, Idaho that resulted in the death of his wife, son, and a federal marshal. Federalizing crime violates the constitutional limits on the federal government's police powers.
