The Tenth Amendment, or
Amendment X of the United States Constitution is the section of the Bill of Rights that basically says that any power that is not given to the federal government is given to the people or the states.
Powers held only by the
states include the issuing of licenses (like drivers licenses or marriages licenses), the creation of local governments, the ability to ratify amendments to the constitution, and regulating intrastate commerce, or commerce within state lines.
Supremacy Clause. The Supremacy Clause
of the United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) establishes that the
Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the supreme law
of the land. ... Even
state constitutions are subordinate to federal law.
Texas govt. understands it's place in the union of States Not to say the Texas AG has not filed multiple lawsuits against the feds for various causes
The Socialist State of Kalifornia is doing it's best to assert it's supremacy against the Feds. And succeeding in some areas - notably immigration - which is reserved to the US Congress.
I am fine with Kalifornia leaving the Union, joining Mexico - let it become Mexifornia.
Good riddance to the land of Fruits and Nuts.
