I remember the tenth amendment/55mph tizzy. I was ten. I think I remember the fiendishly clever way the Gov't got the 55mph deal through. They didn't actually legislate it, thereby keeping their furry paw out of the bear trap. What they did, they simply threatened to withhold Federal highway money (billions!) from any state not toeing the line on 55. I don't believe fiscal policy is granted the same status as law. Nothing in the Constitution about extortion. Ain't America really something special? :-)
