The 17th amendment to the Constitution gutted state's rights. However, we are just awakening to the importance of a state's ability to nullify federal actions. The fight has just begun and it will be revived.
This is an alternative to secession from the Union. The States need to convene an emergency Convention to Propose Amendments. They can also ratify amendments without involving Congress in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. The main amendment to be considered should be this:
The States, with a majority in agreement, can, at any time, nullify any bill passed by Congress and signed by the President. The States, with a majority in agreement, can nullify any Executive Order or any other thing signed, or ordered, by the President. The States, with a majority in agreement, can remove any person appointed to any office in the Judicial branch or the Executive branch.
These are the kinds of things that the States could control before we got the damned 17th amendment. The States participation in the Federal government needs to be restored, IMMEDIATELY.
