Yeah, pie in the sky, I know, but that's the problem when you make rules and then fail to live by them.
Why do you place so much emphasis on this? The founders weren't demigods. They were just the dudes (sorry ladies) in a position to make the call at that time. Now we're the dudes and dudettes who get to make the call here. The constitution is more fluid than you give it credit for. Its interpretation like our circumstances are able to evolve. If the supreme court has not sided with you about the abrogation of state's rights I don't see why we should.
