Aside from the bar on quartering British troops in one's home, nothing in the Bill of Rights gets less respect than the 10th Amendment.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox speaks during a news briefing during the final day of the Utah Legislature, Friday, March 1, 2024, in Salt Lake City. Aside from the bar on quartering British troops in one’s home, nothing in the Bill of Rights gets less respect than the 10th Amendment. Utah earlier this year decided to do something about that by reasserting the Beehive State’s power over all matters “not delegated” to the federal government by our founding document.
In signing the scheme into law, Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, explained: “Balancing power between state and federal sovereignty is an essential part of our constitutional system. This legislation gives us another way to push back on federal overreach and maintain that balance.” Democrats won’t mention their own history of immigration law nullification when complaining about the constitutionality of what Utah is attempting to do.
South Carolina backed down, but so did the feds. Compromise congressional legislation rolled back the tariffs over the course of several years.
