The problem is that the way the courts interpret it often defies common sense. I decided many years ago, that the antifederalists hadaclearer view of theConstitution than the Federalists. On virtually every point, the courts have gone with the principle of “consolidation.”

Yep. But that's how the Bill Of Rights came about. Even if the present administration manages to stuff the S.C. with anti- constitutionalists the idea of 'to the States respectively, or to the people.' will still be written in plain text. Some state legislatures at last appear to be waking up to that tune now. The party in charge now is pretty pushy with its agenda. I see some interesting arguments in our near future.
