States' Rights Reserved
(quoted T. Jefferson ) : “The several States composing the United States of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general (federal) Government, but by a compact under the style and title of a constitution for the United States and of amendments thereto. They constituted a general Government for special purposes — delegated to that Government certain definite powers, reserving each State to itself the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and whensoever the general Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”
The Feds Will Just Say No
Whatever legislatice action is taken by state governments can easily be rejected by the federal courts. States Rights does not exist.
To regain control the states must change the rules of the game by explicitly changing the Constitution. A Constitutional Convention would be needed if the states are serious about reigning in the Feds. Even then it would be a battle royal.
The so-called "states rights" movement, as it exists now, is so much window dressing. When the states are ready to matter, they'll be calling for a convention.
