Eureka! They found it!

Someone in South Dakota found it. You could almost hear their shouts all the way over here when they yelled, “Hey! Guys! Look at this!”

"The 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."

“Where did you find that?” asked one of the newly informed. “It’s right here in the Tenth Amendment of our Constitution” the finder replies. “How long has it been there?” “Well let’s see, the first ten amendments were ratified right along with the Constitution, so I guess from the beginning.” “I’ll be danged. It was there all along.”

Now South Dakota is exerting its new found Constitutional power by rolling back their abortion laws. The NARAL crowd no doubt is up in arms because elected and thereby accountable representatives of the people are treading where heretofore only appointed and unaccountable judges have dared to venture. Odd isn’t it that this crowd, who claim to speak for the vast majority of Americans, is most fearful of the will of the people as expressed by their elected officials.

This is a great test for the new Supreme Court. Will they return to the States that which belongs to the States or continue the pattern of allowing five unelected unaccountable dopes in robes decide the fate of the nation?
