Texas Wants 9 Amendments To The Constitution

Here's the list, the so-called "Texas Plan":

I. Prohibit Congress from regulating activity that occurs wholly within one State.

II. Require Congress to balance its budget.

III. Prohibit administrative agencies—and the unelected bureaucrats that staff them—from creating federal law.

IV. Prohibit administrative agencies—and the unelected bureaucrats that staff them—from preempting state law.

V. Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a U.S. Supreme Court decision.

VI. Require a seven-justice super-majority vote for U.S. Supreme Court decisions that invalidate a democratically enacted law.

VII. Restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments by limiting the former to the powers expressly delegated to it in the Constitution.

VIII. Give state officials the power to sue in federal court when federal officials overstep their bounds.

IX. Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a federal law or regulation.

Here is my two cents on this subject:

This sort of piecemeal approach will never fly. And if a convention is called, they will produce a real disaster of a new document.

By the way, the US Constitution was suspended on 9/11 as part of the continuity of government measures adopted that day and partially codified in the so-called Patriot Act. How has that been working out for you?
