That’s because the 10th amendment is meaningless.

Only to you Huck.

Nope. Not just to me. It's a tautology. That's why it's proven so worthless over the years. It adds nothing at all. It says the powers not delegatd to the fedgov are reserved to the states/people. Ok. Duh. But the major question that arises is whether or not a power is delegated. The 10th does absolutely NOTHING to answer that question. And so it is useless.

The Congress still passes whatever laws it pleases. And if a state or person sues, it's still up to the federal judiciary to decide if it is a fed power or not. The 10th adds absolutely nothing to the debate at all.
