As to states applying the Constitution, I wait in vain for a governor to parse the Fed budget, delete everything not allowed/delegated to the Feds under the enumerated powers, subtotal a constitutional budget of the funding for the limited authority the Feds have, divide that by the number of taxpayers in the country, then tax each of their own taxpayers the single-taxpayer amount for their much-reduced portion of the Fed budget, sending one check for that state to the feds and having their senators propose terminating the IRS, cuz who needs ‘em for 50 checks... 16A sez individuals can be taxed... it doesn’t say how, nor does it allow taxing for spending on non-delegated powers...
God bless General Paxton your a blessing to Texas and the people that recognize and honor the constitution and law

Doubtless, however, SCOTUS will follow its precedent in us v brewer (then-AZ Gov) and prevent states from securing their own border...
I hope you are wrong.
Me, too...
