SO out of curiosity are you suggesting that the states can do whatever they want whenever they want?

I'm saying the Tenth Amendment means what it says. If you had read it, you'd know it does not say the states can do whatever they want whenever they want.

(such as Mark Levin and Anton Scalia and others). Even they admit to limitations to the Constitution.

I don't even know what that's supposed to mean - and I'll bet neither Levin nor Scalia has ever used those words.

I am an originalist.

An "originalist" who thinks consistent adherence to the Tenth Amendment is extreme ranting and raving?

Your sense of consistency is by no means perfect either. You want one form of consistency and yet would not even comment on the one that might be of concern to some.....DOMA. In the 1950s and early 1960s there was much discussion and many cases that involved states rights and the limits of federal authority. Like it or not those cases have consequences for today.

Scalia and Levin HAVE used exactly those words.

Look I am doen with this. Go do some reading. I don’t care if you agree with me or not. Just because a citizen has an opinion does not guarantee that it is correct
