It's kind of funny how some conservatives call themselves constitutional conservatives. I mean wtf? It gives off the "feeling" that they're somehow experts in the document, but as far as I can see nearly all of them have no clue about what they're saying. Seriously, In most every field of law(judges, lawyers, law professors) and most constitutional professors that have spent their entire life teaching and researching these issue nearly all disagree with the idea that we should live in the 18th century with the concept of a rigid document. Seriously, I know this is a generalization but this is what these people generally want for America....What they don't get is:
1. They don't understand what supremacy is and 2. don't realize or simply ignore the entire concept of caselaw when it doesn't support their foolish 18th century thinking. With this sort of thinking our founders that wrote the constitution would have been thought of as being way out of line for considering what they did by the so called constitutional conservatives of the 18th century(which frankly wanted to preserve the king and the rights of kings). The constitution was wrote to last through the centuries and to allow a great deal of power that was limited by the amendments to protect rights, liberties and as a guide.
There isn't one thing in the constitutions that limits power to only the states. Not one word in the 10th amendment as such powers aint defined within the document, but we do have case law that certainly does attempt to do so at the local level. So yes, lets throw out the concept of caselaw as you wish, but when really digging into the meat of the issue you will find really fast that you have less of a case when you do.
We're a modern country because we live under an government that protects our standards of living, economy and invests within our borders. This is one of the biggest difference between a third world shit hole and the first world?? The question you have to ask is what do you choose for our future? 1. What we have now that works very well or 2. something that goes against the entire modern developed world and never has.
Stop fooling yourself with dumb terms that don't match reality.
