That amendment isn’t an “escape clause” on any legislation passed to give the federal government power. It says the powers were reserved to the states or people. But they still have the power to elect representatives who give that power to the feds. The 10th amendment doesn’t ban legislators from expanding the scope of the federal government. Conservatives desperately need more amendments to rein in the left.

Maybe I’m not too smart but I fail to see how a problem arising from people’s refusal to abide by existing rules can be solved by creating more rules. It reminds me of the first time I entered the bank I used for my little business account and saw a sign saying no concealed weapons were allowed. I walked in laughing out loud.
