Rights reserved to the states by the 11th Amendment are Constitutional rights. An individual cannot be pressured by government actions or inducement to forfeit a right, can a state relinquish it’s rights under a similar situation mearly because a federal law says it can? Don’t rights reserved to the states belong to all the people in a state, so a governor greedy for federal dollars shouldn’t be able to surrender the right?

Those are excellent points and thought provoking questions. I think someone like Mark Levin, who is incredibly brilliant when it comes to Constitutional law would be able to provide the best insight. I'm sure that some governors would infer that since they are elected to represent the people of the state, then the people have transferred those rights, or claim to them, to the state government?

This could have disturbing implications.

The best legal minds in the world cannot stop the Court from doing what it will. Our Republic is in grave danger and ultimately rests in the hands of one mush headed Supreme Court Justice.

I am so glad we have removed God from the equation, those silly 10 rules were just too much for us to understand. Now we can have our own little God decide for us.

God meant for us to govern ourselves, he never wished for a king to rule over the hearts and minds of man, but historically speaking we have always demanded a king, and now we have one. We should be so pleased.
