The 10th Amendment is a statement, that all that is not granted is retained. James Madison regarded such proclamations that aren't backed up without institutions to enforce them, as "parchment barriers."
In post #37 I asked you to "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."
You cannot, because the 10th doesn't provide for it. OTOH, Article V is a distinct grant of power.
While waiting obediently for impeachment/conviction of Obama and his ministers, our once republic cries in misery for redemption, for renewal of corrupt institutions to protect, rather than assault our liberties.
Why are you obsessed with mechanisms where none are needed? The only mechanism needed is to disobey and not comply with anything illegal that emanates from the federal government.
The greatest folly is that liberals will sit back quietly while you have your Article V convention and get everything your way. IT AIN”T NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!!
Just one more time as you don’t catch on too quick:
“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.”
The state legislatures and Governors can invoke the 10th amendment anytime they want. Its as simple as that. Eventually they will start doing it as things get worse and worse.
An Article V convention is never going to happen and if it did by some miracle of God the amendments that come out of it would have no chance to get ratified. But that’s OK you keep dreaming about it. :-)
