The 10th Ammendment gives the states the right to take back their power. We don’t need a bunch of new ammendments.

The only real hold the Federal govt has over the states is Federal funds which it has used over the last 100 years to seduce and enslave the states. All they have to do is give up the Federal funds and exert their sovereignty.

Amen! End of story... But the new amendments would exert state power... Wrong, they would just had to the heap of rights already trampled by the government. The supremacy clause gives the states, not the supreme court, the right to decides what’s “pursuant to the constitution.”

The 10th Amendment recognized the structure of the constitution. It didn't “give” anything.

The government hasn't be federal for a hundred years. The 17th Amendment overnight turned a federal republic into a democratic republic.

If you support federal government, you should support Levin's amendments. They not only return the states to the senate, they super-federalize the government with additional ways for the states to check DC.

And protect their citizens from having to contribute to federal funds. Otherwise it's all out, nothing in.
