I was thinking about how the federal government has basically, over time, destroyed any sense of states rights and powers and was wondering, just what, if anything, could be done about that. My solution is remarkable. A Constitutional amendment. Imagine that. But what amendment could possibly turn back the clock? How about this:
If, a majority of the state's legislatures vote to declare an act of Congress, an order of the President or a decision of the court to be unconstitutional, then it is immediately returned to Congress as a proposed amendment and must follow the amendment process in order to become law.
Yes, state nullification, but with teeth. That is the only real answer I can see to the consistent bludgeoning of federalism this country has seen at the hands of politicians, Presidents and the courts.
