Source: Child Support Recovery Act Violates Tenth Amendment
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3898/is_200106/ai_n8957874/
Constitutional Connection: Amendment 10; Powers of the State and People
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Explanation of Connection: This article is about how the court believes that the Child Support Recovery Act violates the Tenth Amendment. A Texas resident was indicted under the Child Support Recovery Act for failing to make support payment for his child, who resided in New York. The man argues that the CSRA violates the 10th Amendment because it exceeds congress's power to regulate interstate commerce.
This article demonstrates the 10th Amendment- Powers of the state and People of the United States Constitution. The tenth amendment gives people the right to have power, also that the government has the right to regulate only matters delegated to it by the constitution.
I believe that the man should not be indicted because he could not make payments for his child, not everyone has all that money. Also if the Supreme Court believes that the Child Support Recovery Act violates the tenth amendment why was it ever made?

Connection to Constitution: 4th Amendment-Search and Seizure
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Explanation of Constitution: This article is about how the senator and representatives ignored the 4th amendment to punish Major League Baseball and other professional leagues for not imposing penalties on players for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.
This article demonstrates the 4th amendment Search and Seizure in the United States Constitution. The 4th Amendment gives people the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects. Their 4th Amendment should not be violated.
I only believe that people playing in sports should get tested for steroids. Many people who do steroids are hurting themselves and steroids can cause people to do some bad things to the people they love. So i think that atletes should get tested even if it is violation their 4th amendment.

Constitutional Connection: Article I, Section 7
"all bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."
Explanation of Connection: This is article is about how Obama wants Congress to work on immigration reform. He wants to fix the nations immigration system. He also criticized Arizona Immigration law as the wrong approach.
This article demonstrates Article 1, Section 7 of the United States Constitution. The Congress has many rights. The Congress is the Branch that makes the bills. A bill is originated in the House and then go to the senate, but before it becomes a law it has to be shown to the President.
I think that Obama should have congress work on immigration reform because illegal immigration got out of hand. We have a lot of illegal immigrants, but I think that immigrants should come to the United States because they come here for better opportunities and we get oil from them.
