Name the process, the mechanism, the tangible way and procedure a state legislature can invoke the 10th Amendment during the course of actual law making in DC.

We have state governments for a reason. Regardless of what today’s media would have you believe, state representatives are not elected state paper-shufflers or federal mandates. State governments share power with the federal government as equal partners.

I would urge you to educate yourself more on the concept of nullification which is what the 10th amendment is. I think you have wedded yourself to this Article V deal to the point that you can’t recognize a more simple remedy which is already in place.

Your chances of being hit in a drone strike are better than the chance that an Article V convention will ever convene much less effect new amendments that ever get ratified.

The process is simple. You ignore them, but of course you must also have a plan and be prepared for retaliation.

States could have ended abortion by simply affirming existing statutes against murder and arresting abortionist and their accomplices. If you think through the scenario and actions that could have been taken, the states would clearly have had the upper hand and we wouldn't be where we are now.

Can you imagine a president of the United States defending an order that federal troops protect the right to commit murderer and guard abortion mills? But where were the governors, legislators and state officials? All hiding it seems. Obviously power was more important to them than innocent life. Damn them all.
