Death kneel of the 10th amendment

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." -- 10th amendment to the US Constitution

Read the latest usurpation of states rights in the name of the "commerce clause" in the constitution:

The US government via act of congress can make possessing any item a federal crime. I forget why it took a constitutional amendment to outlaw alcohol and then another amendment to make it legal again.
