Editing New York v. United States

{{Infobox Case Brief
|court=U.S. Supreme Court
|citation=505 U.S. 144 (1992)
|date=1992
|subject=Constitutional Law
|case_treatment=No
|facts=Congress passed the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 which included a “take title” provision.  This provision directed the States to regulate the field of radioactive waste.
|issues=Whether Congress has the power to direct the states to regulate a field or whether this power is limited by the Tenth Amendment.
|holding=While Congress has substantial power under the Constitution to encourage the States to provide for the disposal of the radioactive waste generated within their borders, the Constitution does not confer upon the Congress the ability simply to compel the States to do so
|rule=[[Congress]] may not simply commandeer the legislative process of the States by directly compelling them to enact and enforce a federal regulatory program; this is known as the '''anti-commandeering doctrine'''. It may, however, attach conditions on the receipt of federal funds.
|comments=*''[[Printz v. United States]]'', Congress can't command state executive officers such as the state police
