"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.

Good luck with that.

I see a lot of hot air, but no plan.
I told you what has to happen.

Go get the states to roll it back, if you can.
I don’t think you can.
Without a comprehensive plan, you won’t get the states to do squat.

Therefore Enumerated powers arguments are a waste of breath and bandwidth. Even with a plan, you’re decades away. Completely irrelevant to the here and how.
