<br />As to those States Rights in the Constitution, well, those are subject to interpretation. As the nation learned in Roe vs. Wade, there are rights in the Constitution which may not be written down but are there just the same. And one of those unwritten rights applies to the Federal government, i.e. The Feds can do whatever they want and the States shall fall into line. <br

The news article was talking about a lame duck session and I seen this about state voter registration laws. Looks like a takeover of state rights to me. If you think defunding a program will stall it think again about that with legislation they want to cram thru before Janurary.

Other lame-duck possibilities? Senate ratification of the New Start nuclear treaty, a federally mandated universal voter registration system to override state laws, and a budget resolution to lock in increased agency spending
