The core of the Tea Party’s bizarre belief that everything from Social Security to Medicare to the Affordable Care Act violates the Constitution is tentherism — the belief that the 10th Amendment renders the United States as a whole almost completely impotent and leaves the most basic governance decisions up to the states.
