Mitt Romney has learned that the Tenth is useful if you're trying to squirm through charges that your Massachusetts health-care horror was the president's instruction manual for Obamacare.
Mitt is still having trouble with snickering citizens who say, "Oh yeah? You mean govermentalized medicine (or anything else) is okay if we just
do it one state at a time?"
Politicians love selective reading of the Constitution. Yep, the final article of the Bill of Rights does say powers not delegated to the feds "are reserved to the states...". They tend to ignore the final words: "...or to the people."
That leads to the Mitty view that it's fine to jail your citizens for refusing to buy health insurance, just as long as it's a state prison rather than a federal one.
Oh well, at least that act of the GOP follies is reminding folks there is such a thing as the Tenth Article of the Bill of Rights. Maybe something will happen to call attention the Ninth.
