So you want the Obama White House and the Pelosi-Reid Congress to act as checks on each other?
No state is more sovereign than any other state so no state or group of states can tell ANY other state or group of states what it can or cannot do! That is the sole purview of "the people" of each state individually acting through their elected representatives within the state.
Pretty much what I figured you'd say, which is in keeping with your contratictions all along. You say the government shouldn't tell the states what to do, except why you think that it should. You say nothing in the Constitution is implied, except when you say those impled powers are there. You say the 10th Amendment reserves powers to the states, except when you decide it doesn't. And you say the states are sovereign, except when some states are more sovereign than others. You are nothing if not predictable.
You, as you often do, ignored a very important part of what I wrote which is that the individual states which created the federal government would act as the ultimate check on any excess of their creation.

Nowhere have I ever said any such thing as that except perhaps in your twisted mind!
There are NO implied powers in the Constitution period!
The ONLY powers the federal government has is those specifically delegated to it by the plain language of the Constitution!
The states are, each one individually, free and independent period and can do whatever they wish with the exception of those things expressly prohibited them by the plain language of the Constitution!
Do you really believe that the very same men who had suffered greatly to free themselves from a dictator would turn right around and create a government that was allowed to determine it's own limits?
