The Rights of the States was clearly enumerated by the 10Th Amendment; all powers not enumerated in the Constitution are reserved to the People and States. The Federal government has usurped the rights of the people and states more times than we can count since the end of the Civil War. The states need to reassert "THEIR" rights. My dogeared copy of the Constitution seems quite clear on the rights of states; maybe not the right of session (which I would not want to see) but the right to govern the people at the local level. Let the Federal government DO what the Constitution promulgated and leave the everything else to the people and states. The Federal Government can not even protect our economy, ideology or borders, their primary enumerated function.

The Constitution is as the Supremes interpret it.? You seem to think it is a "black and white" creation.? It is not.? In fact, the Founding Fathers did a really poor job, in my opinion, making it clear what they intended within the four corners of that document, as continuing legal precedent clearly evidences.? Thus, these Harvard and Yale educated lawyers have a free rein to read what they want into the document, including the "emanations from a penumbra" style interpretations by judicial activists that legalized infanticide.
States rights may indeed make a Constitutional comeback.

I am confused. I thought we were operating under the Constitution of the
United States of America, not the articles of confederation, the UN charter,
the constitution of France or Germany or Lord forbid the wahtever Scotland
is operating from at this time..
What is so hard to understand. We are operating under the CONSTITUTION of
the USA.
Are there so many uneducated attorneys and judges who do not know the
differnce or did they go to a different law school than most of those not
graced with attending Yale or Harvard?

In response to Kevin Hardwick's post on federalism, which echoes
Hamiltonian propaganda of the 1790s and John Marshall's/Joseph Story's
Supreme Court opinions of the first quarter of the 19th century in falsely
associating the compact theory of federation with the Articles of
Confederation, I recommend chapter 3 of my 2007 book, _Virginia's American
Revolution..._. There, I demonstrate that the compact theory was very
clearly elaborated by Virginia Federalists -- not anti-Federalists -- in
the Richmond Ratification Convention of 1788.
Kevin Gutzman
I doubt very much that the current court will revive the compact theory of
Federation--that is, the federalism of the Articles of Confederation.
The court still finds the Federalist Papers authoritative. Consult
Federalist numbers Seven, Eight, and Nine to see why the alleged right of a
state to secede from the Federal Union violates the fundamental purpose of
the Federal Constitution.
You may also find it useful to read David Hendrickson, PEACE PACT: THE
LOST WORLD OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDING.
All best,
Kevin
