The Supreme Court recently gave a unanimous decision on this a 10th Amendment protection. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/10pdf/09-1227.pdf

Here's a link on the police powers or lack thereof. http://www.supreme.justia.com/constitution/amendment-10-03-federal-police-power.html

When a federal agency attempts to regulate within the states, it violates the police powers of a state's "Health, Welfare, and Safety". Information provided by Danny Martinez

“It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error.” American Communications Ass’n v. Douds, 339 U.S. 382,70 S. Ct. 674 (1950),
Pursuant to the directive of the United States Supreme Court set forth in Federal Crop Insurance v. Merrill, 332 U.S. 380 and Ryder v. U.S. 115 S.Ct. 2031, all Americans are directed and required to initiate a direct challenge to authority to anyone representing themselves as government “officers” or“agents.”. See Ryder v. United States ,515 U.S. 177(1995)) .

FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE v. MERRILL, 332 US 380, the Supreme Court ruled:“Whatever the form in which the government functions, anyone entering into an arrangement with the government takes the risk of having accurately ascertained that he who purports to act for the government stays within the bounds of his authority, even though the agent himself may be unaware of the limitations upon his authority.”

PLEASE NOTE: When challenged, those posing as government officers and agents are required to affirmatively prove whatever authority they claim. In the absence of proof, they may be held personally accountable for loss, injury and damages.

See also; RYDER v. UNITED STATES, 115 S. Ct. 2031, 132 L.Ed.2d. 136, 515 US 177, we are required to initiate a direct challenge to authority of anyone representing him/herself as a government officer or agent prior to the finality of any proceeding in order to avoid implications of de facto officer doctrine.
