Today's 10th Amendment Quote

"To hold that Congress has general police power would be to hold that it may
accomplish objects not intrusted to the general government, and to defeat the
operation of the 10th Amendment, declaring that 'the powers not delegated to
the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are
reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.' "

-- Justice Melville Fuller
(1833-1910) Chief Justice of the United States (1888-1910)
