Can anyone explain what Megan thinks "devolving" means in the following?
It is, however, a very good argument for federalism--devolving power down to the level of the states wherever possible. That makes legislators much more directly responsive to their constituents.Also..... what does she think federalism means?
The full post.

Devolve does mean "to transfer or delegate (a duty, responsibility, etc.) to or upon another; pass on."
OTOH, federalism means exactly the opposite, traditionally, as her misuse of the term here.
Well I'll be. I always thought devolve was an emerging word, meaning a kind of reverse evolution. I stand corrected.
Remember, folks, I'm an admitted rank amateur, n I don't get paid, so for me not to check some stuff out first is just embarrassing laziness on my part, not a failure of duty.
Still, before anyone says it, yeah, I should take my own advice before posting, and do 30 seconds worth of googling. My (half) bad.
The new definition of "federalism," as in The Federalist Society, is more states rights, less U. S. Gov't. "interference."
