It goes against reason and the historical record that the states would ever empower their creation with such unlimited power. Why spell out enumerated powers? Why not simply turn everything over to the federal government and abolish the states immediately? The Drafters and Ratifying states could have saved themselves and the rest of us two-hundread thirty-six years of debate by ceding all their power to one centralized government. Our births, our being alive, our deaths, everything we do in the course of our lives, all of it impacts commerce. Based on this argument then everything, including ourselves, should be given over to the federal government to control.<a href="http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2012/01/18/not-everything-is-interstate-commerce/" target="_blank">http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2012/01/18/not-everything-is-interstate-commerce/</a><a href="http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/12/27/to-regulate-commerce-means-more-than-to-make-it-regular/" target="_blank">http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/12/27/to-regulate-commerce-means-more-than-to-make-it-regular/</a></blockquote>
