i must say that i appreciate coburn, in his last round, raising the tenth amendment and quoting madison on scope of federal power. he asked her specifically about the use of the commerce clause to justify almost any piece of legislation, or any expansion of federal authority. he asked her, at the widest scope, whether the size of the contemporary american state comports with the vision of the founders, to whom sotomayor genuflected, as a supreme court nominee must. he's right that the answer to that is utterly obvious. roughly, we do not have the form of government that the framers devised.
