It was bound to happen...

Prof. S, do you also think that that the National Minimum Purchase Age Act of 1984 (the one that gave reduced federal highway funds to those states with a drinking age limit of less than 21) was unconstitutional and should be repealed? I think it should be repealed. I can't say if it's unconstitutional or not.

Which makes me think, if I understand correctly that the crux of your argument is that the federal govt withholding federal money unless the state's do as they say is unconstitutional, how can that be right? I mean, isn't all money given by the federal government to the states ear-marked for some purpose or another? It's not just given willy-nilly with no intention for the money.
