The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Again, conflating powers and rights. Sad. This is one of the most damaging fallacies wreaking havoc in our country today.

You’re a statist. You want the federal government writing laws the Founding Fathers left to the States to write. You just don’t want o take the time or effort to ammend the Constitution to give the federal government those new powers.

The country is in the situation it is in because of people who think like you. They may disagree with you on this point, but on the bigger issue of following the Constitution as written you and the statists on the left are in lock step.
