The 10th Amendment is now nothing more than an historical curiosity. It has no teeth.

The Commerce Clause has been used to turn the states into provinces of the federal government. And that makes me sick.

I wouldn't write off the 10th amendment as being toothless. There is a growing movement within the states to challenge federal mandates and laws whether it involves health care, the environment, or education.

I agree the Commerce clause has been used excessively to justify federal intervention. The health care mandate will test what economic activity the federal government can regulate.
