Reclaiming The Tenth

State Rep. Susan Lynn explains why she is urging a resolution in the General Assembly reaffirming states’ rghts:

Lynn indicated the resolution is needed because states “are demonstrably treated as agents” of the federal government.

“Many powers and federal mandates are directly in violation of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution; this limits our freedom and costs taxpayers untold billions of dollars — or should I say trillions? … We should also demand that the federal government halt and reverse its practice of assuming powers and of imposing mandates upon the states for purposes not enumerated by the Constitution.”
