“This should have never landed in federal court. This is purely a state issue. The Commonweath of Virgina should have fixed this problem on their own, and if the Feds stepped in, it would be grounds for war.”

Spot on.

Interestingly, the other day I was in a bookstore and I saw a book called “Fed Up!” by some guy named Rick Perry.

Anyway, this Perry fellow wrote an entire book about the 10th Amendment and States’ Rights and how he really hates it when agitators from other states file frivolous lawsuits in Federal Court in hopes that an Activist Federal Judge will step in and overturn laws passed within a state.

I hear this Perry guy really respects the 10th Amendment.

Who is your candidate?

It's about the 14th amendment, not the 10th.

At the same time this is all of a piece with running for a federal office, not the local dogcatcher.

This involves the Presidential Elector selection process. That's VERY MUCH within federal purview.

The 10th Amendment has to do with a wide variety of other matters not otherwise identified as federal questions.

You should read the Constitution some day.
