Anyone who goes around telling everyone the Tenth Amendment is dead and gone is rolling over for big fedgov. That’s reality.
Ok prove it isn't and we can talk.
The Tenth amendment is dead until they find a reason for it not to be and it will have nothing to do with constitutionality, but personal gain. The orators have long been dead and it is now all about the money and the power.
Many go to Washington with the idealism you seem to have but they are ground down eventually. I don't like it but denying it doesn't fix anything, neither does the ballot box.
