The wingers babble a lot about being "Constitutionalists" and part of that means they think the 10th Amendment prohibits almost all Federal social programs. When pressed a little on this issue, they often fold. Here's one example, courtesy of dday at Crooks & Liars:
Frank: Do you think Medicare is unconstitutional, sir?
Teabagger: I think that Medicare needs to be reformed.
Frank: Do you think it's unconstitutional? You said that the Constitution doesn't give us the authority to do it, but Medicare was done. And, do you think Medicare is unconstitutional?
Teabagger: I think that Medicare needs to be reformed.
Frank: But you won't tell me whether you think it's unconstitutional, which you said--
Teabagger: I am not a Constitutional scholar-
Frank: Then why did you start off arguing about the Constitution?
