“As the 10th amendment resolutions proliferate around the country, I find myself quietly praying that they represent a serious commitment on the part of State legislators to restoring the proper position of the State governments before it is too late.”

Contrary to you, I find myself praying that this represents a serious commitment of the People of the states to restoring the proper platform of their state governments. Politicians will never do this voluntarily if the People don’t push them to do it. Politicians are our agents. Everything worthwhile comes from us – remember, Alan?

If in fact the powers of the state were lost during the “civil war” or denied by the fourteenth Amendment, those powers will go to the federal government if they are not specifically protected by the individual. This may be the only way we can show that the powers are reserved to the people. Yes, this is a Constitutional battle that separates the powers of government. Article III section 1 says, “The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in One Supreme Court,…”

“All political power is inherent in the people.” Article II, Section 1 California Constitution.

I don’t think the states will ever get their rights back until they are taken by the individuals first.
