Re: State Sovereignty

You are basically correct.

21 states now have passed resolutions - not bills - that reinforce the 10th amendment. Which basically says the states are soverign territories and in the end are able to make decisions for themselves.

The states are just reaffirming (and reminding) that the Federal government's power is restricted to specific parts detailed in the Constitution, and that all other govermental authority is in the state's hands.
