A movement to reclaim for states all rights not specifically designated to the federal government in the U.S. Constitution is exploding across the nation, with 35 states already acting or at least considering such proposals - and one state lawmaker estimating the nation as a whole could save $11 trillion in coming years if it would succeed.

WND reported not long ago when the number of states with lawmakers considering such sovereignty efforts reached 20.

Now, according to the Tenth Amendment Center, such provisions have been launched in at least 35 states. They all address the Tenth Amendment that says: "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

South Carolina's S. 424 is an example. It is titled: "To affirm South Carolina's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution over all powers not enumerated and granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution."

maybe he will turn out to be a good thing in the end[?] If this administration forces the country to return to the constitution and belay the socialist/nanny state intrusion,..it will be a solidification that has been a long time coming.

Daryl, no offense intended, but I personally think that you are a dirty, no-good, filthy, red, commie, who would sell America down the river for a nickel and a New Coke.

I feel that the action that could be successful is the one undertaken by Montana, Utah, Texas, and Tennessee (so far). They are stating (quite correctly) that firearms manufactured within their borders are exempt from any sort of federal regulation, since the various and multitudinous unconstitutional gun-control legislation passed over the years was (illegally) justified under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution.

More states need to join this effort. It is a major states-rights issue that has teeth. I have already contacted my US representative and both senators.

"To affirm South Carolina's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution over all powers not enumerated and granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution."

could someone put that in English as in today's interpretation

I'd guess, note I said "guess" so no one can accuse me of intentionally lying, that anything not specifically stated in the Constitution as being regulated by the Federal government is left up to the individual state.

That is what it means.
