When did States just hand-away their sovereignty to the Feds?
When the Feds started to offer money in exchange for control.

I believe that was one of his highness’s executive orders.

Exactly! The real demise of the 10th Amendment began with states agreeing to accept federal money to run state programs.
Education is the perfect example; feds contribute 10% of the money, but 100% of the control (where they so choose).

Where the hell is Gov Brewer on this one? She should step in and send the Arizona National Guard in to help restore the water supply after declaring the town of Tombstone a “State Emergency” when the feds whine she should tell them to go pound some sand.
The federal government sure has the states and local municipalities trained well, they are fixed and domesticated.

This is why we have the Constitution. This is why James Madison insisted that Article I, Section 8, included among the powers of Congress
"To regulate the use of equipment by local governments"

When did States just hand-away their sovereignty to the Feds?The 17th Amendment is an egregious milestone in the transfer of power, particularly because the States gave up their Senate representation willingly.
