With same-sex marriage, the issue has been taken to the courts. With abortion, it has, also. Indeed, the Supreme Court exists to determine the Constitutionality of issues such as these.
So, what of states rights? Should not a case be filed questioning whether the 10th Amendment gives states power of government that currently are being handled by the federal government? Perhaps the difference is, with abortion and same-sex marriage, there are people who who feel their rights are being violated, so they file suit and the case works its way to the Supreme Court. Citizens file those cases. With the 10th Amendment, it would more likely be a state that would file the case, saying its rights had been violated.
But, should we not have such a filing? If a state does feel its rights are being violated, should it not file suit, that the Supreme Court might rule on this issue?
