You can't pick and choose how involved you want the federal government in state affairs if you keep taking bags of their money. For every unfunded mandate claim, there are millions in pork dollars brought home that no one refuses.

The federal government obviously is not the only check upon the federal government. It's the job of the sovereign State governments to restrain federal usurpation and encroachment of powers beyond what is granted in the Constitution. Nullification and interposition are two tools the States should be using against the federal government when it stays outside of its Constitutional bounds. My bet is that more States will begin to use these types of tools to push the feds back into their proper place. It's just the beginning....
