[Amendment10]

Constitutionally clueless Constitution “expert” Obama once again wrongly ignores the following. The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to appropriate revenues for vote-winning intrastate schooling purposes.

State lawmakers are the ones who should be trying to win votes from college students by promising to pay for schooling based on state revenues.

"Constitutionally clueless Constitution “expert” Obama once again wrongly ignores the following. The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to appropriate revenues for vote-winning intrastate schooling purposes."

Since WWII, the federal government's meddling in state and local education has increased by leaps and bounds. Ever heard of Common Core's top-down curriculum mandates and the federal nutrition guidelines imposed on school lunch programs? Ever heard of the federal courts laying down rules for high school commencement speeches? Ever heard of federal education loans and grants, for both schools and students, that come with strings attached?

I'm not saying it's constitutional, but it's been happening for fifty years.
