Every now and then, something Ron Paul says appeals to me. I’ll see your Tenth Amendment argument and raise you the 17th (Tony Blankley at HuffPo divined from a speech at CPAC in 2009):
As an early 1960s vintage member of the then-new conservative movement, I remember us focusing on the 10th amendment during the 1964 Goldwater campaign. It has been a staple of conservative thought, and the continued dormancy of 10th amendment enforcement has been one of the failures of our now half-century-old movement.
