The law was stupid, but I don't see a basis to strike it down.

True. There's no right to colas in the Constitution. The mayor was merely exercising his 10th Amendment right.

States (nor cities for this matter) do not have rights, as the 10th Amendment makes no mention of rights. It may seem like a semantic issue, but otherwise it sounds as though government officials have special rights instead of designated powers.

So power = government, and rights = people.

Makes sense.
