The Tenth Amendment

Child Support Recovery Act Violates Tenth Amendment
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3898/is_200106/ai_n8957874/

" The powers not delegated to the Untied States by the constitution, now prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the Sates respectively, or to the people."

Constitutional Connection:
This is about a Texas resident that failed to make a payment for his kids child support. The man is angered because he says that the Child Support Recovery Act violates the tenth amendment by exceeding congress's power to regulate interstate commerce. The government has to understand that if the man doesn't have enough money to make the child support payment they shouldn't indicted him. If i was in this position i would have been very frustrated as well because one is getting into trouble because they can barely support themselves financially and they have to support others as well. I think that if you cant be able to pay child support and take the responsibility then why would you be doing things if your not gonna do the consequences.
