So if you feel like taking away my freedom to go outside on Tuesdays, you can? The Tenth keeps the Feds from interfering with the powers that properly belong to the States and to the People, which is exactly what some here seem to be advocating.
Your going outside on Tuesdays is quite different from a building being erected as an inciteful landmark of sorts. One impacts only you, the other impacts many others.

Except where the Constitution guarantees equal rights and protections under the law for everyone. You would deny someone the right to build something where he wants to. Is that not about the Constitution?
Excuse me, but please show me the Amendment protecting everyone's rights to build whatever they want wherever they want...

By your definition zoning itself is a violation of the 10th, yet SCOTUS has already said it is not.

I didn't accuse you of "Obama-hating". My response was aimed directly at yours, which seemed to me equally vapid.
Except that my comment had a basis in reality (someone Bush-hating with little grasp of the actual issue). Yours made no sense.
