Thanks for finding those sound bytes Tailgunner Joe. People also need to memorize "PNGAP," powers not granted are prohibited.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Ted Cruz: Abolish IRS and Place Agents on Southern Border - July 23, 2014 - “Education is too important to be dictated by bureaucrats in Washington,” said Cruz, calling for the end of the Common Core federal education standards. “Besides,” he added, “we already have a ‘common core’ in this country: It's called the Constitution of the United States.”

Cruz referred to the 10th Amendment as the “fundamental statement in the Bill of Rights that the powers not given to the federal government are reserved to the states or to the people.”

“That means,” he added, “that as the Framers put it, the powers of the federal government are few and defined.”
