#2 Clyburn replied. "How about [you] show me where in the Constitution it prohibits the federal government from doing this?"

Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791.

"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."

If its not in the document, then it's not permitted. It's rather clear English, except for those legalistically handicapped [who seem to have a very hard time comprehending common English when it doesn't suit their purposes].
