This is a great article, and it has a link to the actual transcript of the White House Press Conference where the comment was made.
Think about this the next time a liberal sends out the recent meme from Buttjiz about Trump’s “Total authority” comment.

Great article! This jumps out at me.
One of the reasons why we traded the Articles of Confederation for the Constitution was to give the federal government the power to regulate the national economy in times of domestic tranquility and especially in times of national emergency. As Noah Webster stated, So long as any individual state has power to defeat the measures of the other, our pretended union is but a name, our confederation, a cobweb.
Moreover, the multi-state pacts that President Trump was talking about at his Monday briefing violate the Constitution’s Compact Clause, which provides that no State shall, without the Consent of Congress enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State.
The Supreme Court has held that this prohibition applies to agreements between States that may increase states’ political power and “encroach on or interfere with” federal authority. Congress, of course, never consented to these states banding together in regional leagues to resist federal directives about reopening the national economy.
Cuomo asserted that the 10th Amendment allows the states to decide for themselves when to reopen businesses within their respective borders.
However, the 10th Amendment provides that powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states. Because the Constitution plainly empowers the federal government to regulate the national economy and clearly prohibits states from interfering with that power, Cuomo’s 10th Amendment argument falters.
FIXED!!!

The underlining begins where, in the quoted article, there exists a "". Probably that's the signal to begin underlining.

Edit2: Not underlining--crossout. Sheesh.
