That's what others on the thread have said, I haven't had time to really research it.
oops, "wife"
The one that Mama Terazzzza pumped a bundle of cash into?
That's the exact argument used for every act and agency of the Federal government. The whole POINT of the Constitution was to grant specific, limited powers to the Federal government. Therefore, the clause you cite refers to Congress's making laws to forward ONLY those activities specifically assigned to the Federal government ... not anything they can think of.
LOL! I thought you were making a pun, but I couldn't figure out why it was funny :-).
What do you think the Tenth Amendment means? Apparently you weren't paying much mind during the Constitutional Law classes, Captain.

Has Teresa Heinz been hitting the vodka injected raisens again?
Yucky group of lefties.
Here is more on Fenton and the kind of dirty machinations they will pull to reach their goals:
FORTUNE Small Business) – WHAT DOES THE TERM 'PUBLIC RELATIONS' CONJURE UP in your mind?" asks David Fenton, the tall, gray-haired, blue-eyed, 51-year-old founder of Fenton Communications. We've only just shaken hands; I haven't even sat down. Before I can object--hey, I ask the questions!--he answers, "Something unethical. It means, 'Will lie, distort, say anything for money.'" He said it, not me.

Well, I think as many people have probably referred to SVN as the brain child of Josh Mailman, who also started, in 1981 an organization called the Threshold Foundation. The Threshold Foundation is the membership organization of primarily young inheritors, but also other people of wealth who have come together with a similar sort of commitment to progressive purposes and values and interests in sort of personal growth and interest introspection, and the common experience of having a lot of money in a society where that can be a complicated phenomenon. And Threshold Foundation is also managed by Tides.

Moreover, the law is well settled and is unassailable that Congress acts subsequently with knowledge of previous decisions of the Supreme Court. That body's failure to act to change a court decision is deemed a ratification. Thus, the interpretation you decry has become an integral part of U.S. constitutional law. Your fervent dislike of the constitutional principle expressed in that doctrine is no doubt honestly and seriously held but, that being true, it is equally non sequitur; it simply doesn't matter.
As a society with a firm foundation in law, the debate on the issue can and should be vigorious while recognizing that it is an academic discussion on a theoretical abstraction and not a sinister usurpation by any branch of government.
Please see my response to essentially the same comment as yours offered by Lurker.
Sorry, I meant TaxChick
Isn't John Kerry's wife a board member of the Tides Foundation?
It would need more than just Congress to effect the appropriate Constitutional amendment. But what politicians would do that now? This would be like foxes voting to lock the henhouse.
The Tenth Amendment is not relevant to the matter.
Tides... in the laundering business. Yup.
How cute of Tides to pick such a name.
Procter and Gamble should sue that they have full rights on Tide for laundering.
Should have scrolled down before posting!
Lovely bunch.
The Theonomists (threy prefer that term) are a minority on the right, but they do exist.
