I’d go back even further, back to progressives such as the land-grabbing Teddy Roosevelt & “he kept us out of war” Woodrow Wilson.

The Sons of Liberty has a point, however: Abe Lincoln may be where the destruction of the 10th Amendment actually began in earnest.

That is true, but the SC under FDR are the ones that codified it by applying the Commerce Clause to everything that happens in the US, detouring around the 10th.

That's the basis for the NLRA.
