No, “the Tenthers are the ones who keep citing the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution every time there is a proposed bill they don’t like, claiming the Constitution prohibits it,” as liberal commentator Alan Colmes explains on his Web site.

Yes, Alan, those silly Amendments, heck, the entire Constitution, does tend to get in the way. Those silly people worried about abiding by the Constitution, what petty fools they are. /sarc.

I seem to recall that they stretched the constitution to cover laws on ‘Elevators’ with the argument that people riding in them ‘might’ be engaged in interstate commerce.

Unless and until a majority of state's legislatures stand up to Washington's continued power grabs and unfunded mandates, nothing, ABSOLUTELY nothing, will change. As much as I appreciate the focus we put on the scum and vermin called the House and Senate, until we go to our respective state legislatures and pressure them to stand up to Washington (and repeal the amendment making Senate elections by popular vote), we are fighting against entrenched power. It starts with electing conservative minded city and county officials that interact regularly with conservative minded elected Congressional Representatives and state legislators, who will then select conservative minded Senators. It should have started with the first Congressional election in 1982 but we settled for having Reagan and didn't care enough to drain the swamp back then. We had another opportunity in 1994 but unknowingly we elected Democrat-lite instead of conservative-heavy. Now we face the same challenges we have always faced and we are hanging our hopes on the Republican party—the only political party I know that can secure defeat from the jaws of victory.

Pelosi: "Since virtually every aspect of the heath care system has an effect on interstate commerce, the power of Congress to regulate health care is essentially unlimited.”

There are two major objections here. First, health care is obtained, in virtually every instance, within the borders of a single state. There are cases where a patient moves from one state to another during treatment, or seeks care from a specialist in another state. But it’s silly to say that such exceptions prove that health care is an interstate activity akin to trucking or Internet scams.

According to Wickard, they can regulate you massaging a sore muscle or mixing up some honey with lemon and whiskey for a cough. Course Wickard's obviously wrong, but there's nothing to stop them from hiding behind it for now.
