Trouble is the tenth isn’t really followed anymore.

That’s why you and I have to elect the right people!

The Tenth amendment is ignored because there is no one in the Federal government that is beholden to the states.

Senators used to be beholden to the States, as they were selected by state government... and could be recalled by state government. So if there was any legislation that came up that would hurt state’s interests, they would have to vote against it.

Return the selection of Senators back to the states and you’ll definitely see much more interest in defending and enforcing the Tenth amendment.
