The constitution is dead.

West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller declared the constitution dead. Totally ignoring the 10th amendment, in a recent Commerce Committee hearing, when the constitutionality and principle of federalism were raised, Jay Rockefeller, chair of the committee, proclaimed “I don’t really give a hoot about states’ rights or federal rights on this one. I care about results.” Rockefeller is proposing federal legislation to ban “texting” while driving. Aren’t there laws that allow civil suits and criminal prosecutions of persons who cause accidents while driving negligently?
