Should States Reject Overweening Federal Government?

By Rick Pearcey • May 13, 2009, 02:32 PM

"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," reports WorldNetDaily, "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."

Reporting for WND, Bob Unruh also writes:

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."

All of which suggests the following question: If Barack Obama (or whomever might hold power in Washington, D.C.) and the federal government reject the U.S. Constitution and the limits it places on federal authority, should not freedom-embracing Americans and State governments across the land reject Barack Obama and the overweening federal government?
