#2 Money isn't the only lever the feds use to increase their influence over state governments.

No, money [funding] can end or be reduced. Affirmative Action becomes an ideology, an assumed right.

#3 Reads like it was written by a Tea-Party constitutional scholar.

As opposed to the White House constitutional scholar.

Too bad more people don't have sufficient attention span to finish the article.

#4 Congress has abdicated its rule-making function. Seldom if ever does it amend or eliminate laws once they are in effect. How simple would it be to simply amend the EPA(Act) to eliminate CO2 emissions from regulation?

#5 In the bad old days when state legislatures chose US Senators, it was far cheaper to buy influence at that level than it now is to ~~buy~~ donate to a senatorial candidate's statewide election campaign. IIRC, that was the basis for the 17th amendment, to give "the people" more say in choosing their US senator. "The people" ain't what they used to be.
