PETITION: State Powers vs Federal
The 10th Amendment is the last of the Amendments spelling out our rights
Our Constitution allows states to have powers the federal government does not explicitly hold.
The 10th Amendment, ratified on December 15, 1791, explicitly states…
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.
This means that any powers not specifically given to the federal government are reserved for the states or the people.
The 10th Amendment was designed to ensure that the federal government is a government of limited and enumerated powers, despite what the Democrats, RINOs, or anyone else, for that matter, believes and is pushing.
Notice they used the word ‘or’ in the phrase ‘are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people’ - Madison, Jefferson, Franklin, and others of the Founding Fathers recognized that tyranny must not exist only at the Federal level but at the State level as well.
Something Newsom and Hochal are having a very challenging time enforcing against the people of their State.
The people of CA and NY can, when (if?) they decide to take action, they have every Constitutional right to do so.
Our 10th Amendment reinforces the principle that state power is protected not by affirmatively shielding state power, but by limiting the ability of the federal government to act in the first place.
However, the interpretation and application of the 10th Amendment have been subject to various Supreme Court decisions over time.
For example, in the case of Gonzales v. Reich (2005), the Supreme Court upheld the power of the federal government to regulate even homegrown marijuana, despite state laws legalizing it.
Federalism allows states to act as "laboratories of democracy," testing different ideas and programs independently.
This system helps maintain a balance of power between federal and state governments and allows for innovation and experimentation at the state level.
So even when SCOTUS oversteps or is incorrect with its Judicial power, it is the people who have the last say - NOT SCOTUS.
This is why their findings are called Opinions, not Decisions nor Declarations - meaning they are contestable by We the People.
In the following post. you can read about and participate in taking action…
The United States Is In A Constitutional Crisis: SCOTUS And the Federal Judiciary Are Complicit In the RICO Conspiracy Involving Washington Mutual
Note: this post is based upon and includes a comment we received to our post, Chief Justice Tipped His Hand Yesterday, in which we reiterated that
We have 3 petitions to stop the judicial corruption -
The first is to initiate impeachment proceedings against complicit Federal Judges who are usurping their powers over the President

The 2nd is to demand that an independent prosecutor to uncover judicial corruption that has been happening long before Trump’s first term

The 3rd petition is similar to Sarbanes-Oxley, passed by Congress after the Enron fiasco, a bill in which CFOs were personally held responsible for all financial statements for their corporation. We need to have Congress enact laws for judicial transparency and accountability to combat conspiracies to minimize future judicial corruption.

This is no longer about partisan politics - it is about the survival of the Republic.
If the Supreme Court and Federal Judiciary remain complicit in this RICO conspiracy, the Constitution is meaningless, and the Rule of Law is dead.
