Honestly I think he could control the US from a fully "constitution sanctuary state" more than from the Federal position while it's almost fully under control.

Imagine a state that just unrecognized the 16th and 17th, went back to gold as money and simply started cracking heads on illegals entering the state and censorship from social media etc. The rest of the states would be FORCED to follow. And under the 10th amendment, there isn't a god damn thing the feds could do about it.

A lack of respect for the tenth amendment isn't the source of government power creep. As written, the 10th is basically a no-op. Yes, it says that the rest of the power not described is reserved for the states, but that was always implied, and no one is really arguing differently. They just expand Federal power to encompass anything they want through abuse of the rest of the Constitution: the Commerce clause, the Supremacy clause, or one of the many bad ideas that have been amended in. I realize it's all jewy law stuff, but if we're arguing about what's legal, that's what we have to deal with. The pointy end of secession was dealt with in the Civil War, which could of course be re-adjudicated.
