What exactly caused this? Name the legislation and I'll certainly look into
it.

Where did you ever get such foolishness as the above statement? That has
been gone, finished, zipped, zeroed, nada'd, goose egged for many many
decades. The states can do nothing without permission from and in
compliance with the rules and regulations of the federal government. The
states have no power whatsoever and in point of fact serve no useful
function anymore. They are leftover and for that matter highly
inefficient
historical curiousities. What you are refering to is the way things used
to
be before the checks and balances system was dismantled. The portion of
the
Constitution you refer to was amended about 90 years ago. The word state
is
now splled with a small 's'.

Think I'm wrong? HOW then would a state, such as colorado compel the
Federal Government to do anything?
