I have no affinity for brick walls. I'm done. In lieu of any further discussion on this topic, please just send me a list of the five next most important issues you deem worthy of a Constitutional amendment. To maintain consistency, make sure that none of them involve laws which have been stricken down by activist judges.
Why not pass the amendment and let the state legislatures debate the issue? The amending process itself lets Congress kick the subject down the field and let the states settle it. If its unnecessary, then it will die before it ever becomes a part of the Constitution. I don't see what is anti-federalist about it.
