Where the Constitution grants powers to the Federal Government. This has been a bone of contention with “conservatives” who say the Fed has been usurping state power. This SCOTUS has also tended to rule in their favour but don’t be surprised if that changes when Trump’s federal government wants to impose its will on blue states. The 6 RW justices are nothing if not hypocrites.
