Why are the Second & Tenth Amendments Ignored?

I asked this same question previously, however I didn’t really get any responses from any liberals, or too many responses for that matter… so I’m asking it again:

_________

The tenth amendment to the United States Constitution reads…

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
So how is it that our senators and congressmen can vote yay on bills such as the infamous "bailout" and not be prosecuted for failing to uphold our constitution? How is it that our federal government is regulating education, the economy, peoples lives, etcetera? How is it that the federal government has the authority to create government programs? How is it that our federal government is doing any of this and not being prosecuted for failing to uphold our constitution, specifically the tenth amendment to our constitution?

In short, why is the tenth amendment not being followed, and why is our federal government not being prosecuted for failing to uphold our constitution – specifically this amendment? Why is it that there isn’t even any debate on the tenth amendment in Congress or the Senate whenever a bill is being voted on which infringes in the tenth amendment, or any other amendment for that regard? I would really like an un-biased response, if possible, please. This question is not meant to be hateful – it’s a genuine question…

Furthermore, the second amendment to the United States Constitution reads…
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
How is it that there are bans on certain guns, restrictions on how many you can purchase in a certain amount of time, gun licenses required to own a firearm, background checks, restrictions on carrying firearms in public, restrictions on how you can keep firearms in your household, restrictions on whether firearms have safety guards or not, etcetera? Isn’t all of this unconstitutional? And if so, how is it that our supreme court does not do anything about this when making rulings on second amendment cases?
Again, I comprehend the tenth amendment just fine… There is nothing in the constitution which states that the federal government has a right to regulate education, public roadways, etcetera. That means these privileges are left up to the state, are they not? I’m really not surprised that I’m being attacked… I asked for intelligent responses and I’m being attacked for… asking a question about our nations constitution?

And as for the second amendment – yes, I understand that there are different arguments, but… hasn’t the supreme court defined what the second amendment means? So… wouldn’t laws which restrict gun ownership in any way be an "infringement?"
Either way, just… obviously the government infringes on the constitution to an extent – that much I’m sure everyone can agree with… so how is it that they are not being prosecuted for not following it word for word?

Would you vote for me? Why or why not?

I share views from both major parties.
Officially I’m a Democrat, but I do not vote party-line.
I have a mind of my own.

WAR
-I’m against the Iraq War.
-30,000 troop surge in Afghanistan was the right thing to do.

WELFARE
-Recipients should be required to pass drug tests!
-Increase public assistance to those who are in legitimate need
-Don’t give the homeless money………..Give them homes.

I’M PRO-LIFE
-Pro-Patriot Act
-Pro-Gun control
-Pro-stem cell reserach
-Use death penalty less often.
-Restrict & Ban abortions (especially partial-birth abortions)
-Life begins at conception

CIVIL RIGHTS
-Let gays marry, "To each his own."
-Civil Unions demonstrate "separate but equal" which is unconstitutional.
-AGAINST Affirmative Action: Don’t make hiring decisions based on whether they are minorities.

TAX REFORM
-Tax Churches and raise the standards for a service to be considered "non-profit" tax-exempt.
-Replace irs with national sales tax
-Use alternative revenue sources to replace taxes; higher fines on criminals & traffic violations
-Gear tax cuts towards the middle class, I pretty much don’t give a crap what the rich have to pay in taxes

RESTRICT SMOKING
-Raise sales tax on cigarrettes and using that money to fight cancer
-Ban smoking in public places

-My position on Universal Healthcare: We need to come up with a better way to pay for it.
-Bush medicare bill was a mistake.
-I believe the bailout was necessary. And look on the bright side; that bailout wasn’t a gift; it was a loan. They owe us that money back.
But we’ve already bailed them out once…..If they ask for another, the answer is NO.
FREE TRADE
-Allow it, it may lose facotry jobs but it gives us lower prices. And the most important jobs are not the labor-factory ones.
