That's exactly right, Karen, and it's laughably obvious. If you can
get what you want in some instance by favoring states' rights, you'll
do it; if you can get what you want in another by favoring federal
power, you'll do that.

You do not operate according to any principle other than the principle
of getting what you want. That is, you are unprincipled as most people
understand the word.

But we already knew that, Karen.
