What I find intruiging today is that the 10th Amendment has taken on a new life, and issues that were supposedly decided in 1865 have been reopened for discussion.

It's all talk---and foolish talk at that. The 10th does exactly nothing to define the limits of the national gubmint.

“Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.”

Look familiar, kinda like the 10th Amendment? It should. It is Article II of your Articles of Confederation. Is it “all talk . . . and foolish talk?”
