Here are some passages from the dissents edited from your casebook:
1. Justice Powell: “judicial enforcement of the Tenth Amendment is essential to maintaining the federal system so carefully designed by the Framers....”
2. Justice O'Connor: The principle of federalism and state-autonomy “requires the Court to enforce affirmative limits on federal regulation of the States to complement the judicially crafted expansion of the interstate commerce power.”
What are your thoughts? Does Justice O'Connor have a really good point? Remember how only Horton can hear the teeny, tiny Tenth Amendment!
The web log for Prof. Duncan's Constitutional Law Classes at Nebraska Law-- "[U]nder our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. " -----Justice Antonin Scalia If you allow the government to take your liberty during times of crisis, it will create a crisis whenever it wishes to take your liberty.
