Nope, that's the 9'th ammendment. The 10'th ammendment (quoted in my .sig file) says that the powers mentioned in the Constitution *are* an exhaustive list of the powers of the federal government. If the Constitution doesn't explicitly grant Congress the power, then Congress has no such power. It would be interesting to see how much of the federal government would remain if the Supreme Court suddenly started to take this ammendment seriously... -- The powers not delegated to the United States by the | Mike Van Pelt Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are | Headland Technology reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.| (was: Video Seven) U.
