To: Amendment10

That ship has sailed.

Congress and the Executive will continue setting up programs that exceed the limit of enumerated powers, until there are successful court challenges.

And the only way there will ever be successful court challenges is if you first either pass amendments AND/Or have a congressionally approved plan to hand those functions back to the states.

No judge, not even conservatives judges, are going to invalidate Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security on enumerated powers. Nor will they invalidate other programs for the same reasons.

"That ship has sailed."

And Trump will never be elected president.

”… is if you first either pass amendments AND/Or have a congressionally approved plan to hand those functions back to the states."

Citizens need to learn that the states, not the constitutionally limited power feds, ultimately call the shots in the USA. This is evidenced by the Constitution’s Article V and the 10th Amendment.

In fact, there is nothing stopping the states from repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, regardless what Congress wants.

"No judge, not even conservatives judges, are going to invalidate Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security on enumerated powers."

Citizens probably don’t care which government, federal or state, pays for such services.

In fact, hypothetically speaking, the states could start paying healthcare bills and Social Security overnight and citizens probably wouldn’t catch on until they looked at bank statements.

When more voters wake up to the unconstitutionally big federal government, then we’ll see changes.
