“None of them oppose federal power.” Of course not. They can't oppose federal power because they have no representation in the Senate. The 17th reduced the once sovereign states to a pitiful condition. They can't even secure their borders or require ID to vote in federal elections.

Liberalism is certainly a problem. It was fertilized and nurtured by the rush of progressive amendments/mistakes a hundred years ago.

Question: What is the probability a president would bother to nominate judges to federal benches who had shown hostility to the 10th Amendment? Why would a senate of the states even consider them?

BTW, spare me your silly theatrics. They have no effect.

The final option is always available, secession.
