Apparently Ashcroft can't read:
Amendment X: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Not only that, he forgot that 'conservatives' are supposed to be for state's rights. Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, that's only when it suits their own purposes.
That's the case with 99% of the politicos in the country.
