"Of course he is, the language is quite specific. ALL is the magic number."

The 10th amendment specifically says "all"?

Seems to me the 10th is pretty vague. As is the 9th. Intentionally so.

Only to you. And only because even though you don't believe it yourself, you are forced to pretend that to prop up your bizarre theory.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

So you contend that the words "The Powers" mean only some powers but not all powers?

Maybe it should say "SOME of the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

That's what you think?
