BINGO!

So you do admit that the Constitution imposes restrictions on the states. Now you're arguing only those restrictions explicitly stated in the Constitution are allowed, ignoring Chief Justice Marshall's ruling on implied powers as outlined in McCullough v Maryland. And I guess there it dies, because I place the opinions of Marshall over yours. And you think you know more than John Marshall. And apparently nothing will every convince you different.

If that were the case, why did the Founders bother enumerating anything?

Where did the founders say they enumerated EVERYTHING? If they had then why the need for a Supreme Court and it's juristiction over the Constitution? Oh, I forget. In your world we're dealing with that pesky unconstitutional Air Force and Coast Guard, not to mention that run away congress with their crazy ideas that they have any authority outside of the District of Columbia.

A Federalist paper? A letter? Any kind of PROOF Madison said that?

"The Writings of James Madison", Galliard Hunt edition, Vol. 9, page 497. OK?

You are correct for noticing my misstatement.

The US Constitution enumerates those powers designated to it by the States, who are thereby no longer authorized to exercise them.

Those enumerations being listed in Article I Section 8 of the Constitution.

ROFL!

Except one of the criteria for a legal contract is that all the terms have to be contained IN the contract.

That's why it's called FULL DISCLOSURE!

Keeps people from changing a contract after the fact, donchknow.

Your source is an edited version of Madison unavailable online.

Do you have an online source for the quote?
