Nice sentiment.

The problem is, of course, the Feds control a lot of things via the power of the purse.

After confiscating our money via various federal taxes and fees, they can simply elect to withhold re-distribution of said funds back to the states if they don't comply with the mandates.

So, the states have been bought lock, stock, and barrel - effectively gutting any 10th amendment assertions they might want to make.

We'll see how this sentiment holds up when the Feds threaten to put the squeeze on the redistributions.
