Not long ago, North Dakota Republicans made a point of defending state sovereignty against Washington, passing resolutions and even bills aimed at limiting federal power during the Obama years. Yet today, many of those same voices cheer on Donald Trump as he expands federal authority in ways they once resisted—through funding threats, immigration raids, and even domestic military deployments. The shift raises a sharp question: were those earlier objections rooted in principle, or simply in politics? History suggests the answer may depend on who holds power. Rob Port with shines a light on our hypocrisy in this commentary from InForum.
