Those states always had strong State systems, which covered a significant part of their States’ workforce.  My opposition to a federal all embracing system, perhaps stemmed from my conservative credo, perhaps best expressed by a comment made by the former Chief Justice of the United States  Supreme Court, William Rehnquist, which appeared in the April 2005 edition of the Atlantic Monthly, when he was asked to identify his political philosophy:

“<em>I’m a strong believer in pluralism.  Don’t concentrate all the power in one place.  You don’t want all the power in the government as opposed to the people.  You don’t want all the power in the federal government as opposed to the states.</em>”
