re: #502 Charles

True — but the tenth amendment has become shorthand for the secessionist ravers. Perry has actually done both — talked about the tenth amendment to nullify federal decisions and also hinted at Texas seceding.

And people invoking the tenth amendment in silly ways does not make it appropriate to ridicule invoking the tenth amendment in general. Which is exactly what has happened. Any time one brings up the tenth amendment, it’s always, “oh, yeah, tenth amendment, you must be one of THOSE people”
