The first three Articles of the Constitution provide the process and prerogatives that make the Tenth Amendment irrelevant in this case. The Bill of Rights are not Hammurabi's code, we have a process to amend or rescind ANY of them. The first seven Articles make all the subsequent Amendments tenuous and mutable. That's the fact.

If you don't like the policy, don't vote for politicians who would make this a codified and funded program. Contest it in court, see if the AIDS funding is legal. It is. Just don't say the 10th Amendment prohibits EVERY act of Congress - that's the laziest of the Libertarian dogmas and it is garbage.

I rest my case.
You do not support our constitution as it is written. -- Or, -- you have some very big problems with comprehending what you read.
Thanks for admitting your stance.
