- Second, the federal government may not use spending conditions to direct the functioning of the state [government], and hence to compromise the structural framework of dual sovereignty.

- NCLA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group founded by prominent legal scholar Philip Hamburger to protect constitutional freedoms from violations by the Administrative State.
