That's actually a pretty damn good article, Basams. I think the author leans a little biased here and there, and paints the idea of devolution as a painless shift and the next "natural" phase. But, overall, he makes a lot of good points I can't help but agree with.
I think although the article suggests the main reasoning for national devolution as the top-heavy power of the Federal Government (which I would also say the invasion of privacy foisted upon us in the past eight years), I'm more drawn to the idea for the very idea of change, itself. As long as we are still militarily secure, and each sub-nation is given the complete freedom to find its own path, the notion of ten separate American Unions, each working on what they do best, would make us all a hundred-times more powerful as a country, and more fulfilled as citizens...
