The case for a “Repeal Amendment”
Cato Institute
by Randy Barnett and William J. Howell
*** begin quote ***
“In its next session beginning in January, the legislature of Virginia will consider proposing a constitutional ‘Repeal Amendment.’ The
Repeal Amendment would give two-thirds of the states the power to repeal any federal law or regulation. Its text is simple: ‘Any
provision of law or regulation of the United States may be repealed by the several states, and such repeal shall be effective when the
legislatures of two-thirds of the several states approve resolutions for this purpose that particularly describe the same provision or
provisions of law or regulation to be repealed.'” (09/16/10)

Good luck!
Many decades too late.
Secession is the only option!

“States the ability to initiate constitutional amendments without the cumbersome convention presently required by Article V.”
I’m fundamentally opposed to Constitutional changes. They always seem to work out badly. To put the States BACK in the driver’s seat, I’d start by repealing the direct election of senators.

The problem with the amendment to allow two-thirds of the States to rescind a specific federal law or regulation is that it is retail when the problem is wholesale. We need to redress the underlying distortions of the Constitution which have allowed the federal government to usurp the States’ original constitutional powers, not nitpick at separate individual usurpations.
What we really need is the ability to amend the Constitution to restore the original constitutional structure which limited the federal government. However, this is difficult to achieve when Congress holds a monopoly on initiating constitutional amendments.
A better solution than the proposed “repeal amendment” is an “amendment amendment” which gives the States the ability to initiate constitutional amendments without the cumbersome convention presently required by Article V. This will allow grassroots constitutionalists to effectively devote their resources to initiating amendments carefully drafted to achieve the restoration of the original constitutional structure, instead of expending effort on particular laws or regulations.
