The thing is, the people who most support the resolution would find almost everything done by the federal government over the past century or more to be unconstitutional.

While we can all hope that voters will stand up to unconstitutional legislation, the controversy opens up a very large can of worms, and a lot of people will be skeptical if things that were accepted practice in 2008 suddenly become unconstitutional outrages in 2009.

And, there you have highlighted the problems we face in light of the incremental advance of socialism within the U.S.. Something, that the Communists were well aware of. The people have accepted so many things as being legal now that it would/WILL be very hard to explain just how far away from the intent of our Founding Fathers, and indeed from the restraints built into the Constitution we have really strayed.
