I believe most of the abrogated responsibilities and authorities has been Congressional based.
States sue the US National government all the time when the US National Executive branch exceeds powers limited by the Tenth Amendment.
The States are no longer represented in the US National government with the passing of the 17th Amendment in 1913.

Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
The Seventeenth Amendment (Amendment XVII) to the United States Constitution established the popular election of United States senators by the people of the states. The amendment supersedes Article I, §3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the Constitution, under which senators were elected by state legislatures. It also alters the procedure for filling vacancies in the Senate, allowing for state legislatures to permit their governors to make temporary appointments until a special election can be held.

The amendment was proposed by the 62nd Congress in 1912 and became part of the Constitution on April 8, 1913 on ratification by three-fourths (36) of the state legislatures.

States can sue but we know how long that process takes.

There are still state's rights. They didn't cede all power to the federal government.

For the most part, the States did not cede power ... it was taken away from them.

I have posted before that I am a Georgian first and American second.

There seems to be a new tactic of the US Federal Court of Appeals' judges declare a moratorium/stop order of Executive Orders.
I'm sure when a DemWit becomes President, the 5th, 8th and 11th Appeal Courts will take up the baton.

Don't judge but I'm currently reading the book. Never saw the movie.

Damn Yankees burned down Georgia ... Never Forget!

For some strange reason people around there didn't like Sherman very much.

I think this pretty much sums up Georgians' feelings about Sherman!

Not something a wartime president needs to concern himself with.

the circular argument you libs make is an interesting straddle. is there a bench on the other side of the barn where the libs take a breather inbetween rounds?

 

[newfie]

Congress has attempted to expand its powers and been repeatedly restrained back to its constitutional limits time and again .

I didn't like that part at all. No reason to burn everything. I was in Macon and Marietta in February. Great people.

SEC considering reinstating the "uptick rule" for short sellers. I believe you have to let the market work itself out. Not every company deserves a participation award. Stuffing the market with federal dollars is bad enough, stop changing the rules at halftime.
