All amendments to the constitution have to be ratified in order to make it law.

Ok, sorry to point out that you're wrong once again.
THE ENTIRE CONSTITUTION WAS RATIFIED AT ONCE, ALL SEVEN ARTICLES. THOSE SUBSECTIONS YOU'RE TAKING ABOUT ARE CALLED AMENDMENTS AND THERE ARE 27 OF THEM.

Get your head out of your ass and come up with some facts.
United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Article I, Section 8 is part of the original constitution and not an amendment to the constitution.

But, back to the original topic of this thread ... what's wrong with this picture: An ill woman, operating within state law, is arrested by federal agents and thrown out into the street in her wheelchair.

Two Border Patrol agents come in contact with an illegal alien crossing the border with a couple hundred pounds of pot in his possession. In an attempt to make the arrest, the Mexican is shot in the butt cheek. The Mexican goes free and the Border Patrol officers are doing time in federal prison for assulting the Mexican.

Something just ain't right in Paradise.

Sorry Kryztina, that comment was not directed at you, it was directed at Dankdude, he keeps backpedaling.

entropic, please explain where I backpeddled?

Vi Knows me well enough to know I don't back peddle easy....
If anything I was asking you to define yourself with a bit more clarity.
Amendments to and subsections added to the Constitution must be ratified as well in order to make them law.
Other's here who have known me for a long time know that I happen to know the constitution quite well.

Here is what I was getting at: Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You know, states rights...
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people."

You may want to look up other cases where the states rights won out.
This is one that comes to mind.
United States v. Sprague - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Of course there are other cases where the Supreme Court has decided against the 10th amendment. It seems that they government and the Supreme Court is selective when it comes to that certain amendment of the United States Constitution.

You see I'm a little sharper that you may think.
