An Inconvenient Truth - The Tenth Amendment ;)
Aha. So, the states are beginning to assert their rights. Very interesting. Last summer, it was Texas Governor Rick Perry threatening secession. This week, it's Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal reminding the feds that the only powers the feds are given are the powers specifically enumerated in the constitution. All other powers are reserved to the states, or the people. This is something the power hungry feds have chosen to overlook for a long time.
The Ninth Amdendment: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
The Tenth Amdendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
So, while the feds are busy passing laws regulating the flow of our showerheads, someone has the kahunas to speak up. All I have to say is that It's about damn time.
