Actually, the Constitution belongs to the states. It is their rules for how the federation they created would be run. If only the states could recapture the sense of their own power over the feds, but they're too busy sucking on the federal tit to do so.

With all due respect, that is the thinking that keeps The People from serving Cease and Desist orders upon a Tyrannical Government.

Sure, it belongs to the States, but it ultimately belongs to The People of those States.

Yes, that is true, but the people can in a legal manner against the feds only through their states and the courts. If we are ever to create an effective pushback against federal bloat, it has to come from the people via the states.
