The States Rights implicit in the 10th amendment are a dead issue because it is a matter of faith now that the members elected to Congress as 'representatives" of the States are actually Agents of the Federal Edifice and its freebooting supporters. The States are going the way of many county governments who are constantly besieged with a flood of decrees emanating from the Statehouse without any notion of how they might be paid for. Best of luck to anyone attempting to re-assert any form of checks and balances in this government of the government, by the government and for the government.
