There may be an excellent opportunity for Texas to use this situation to make a national impact.

Very soon, the Republicans in the US congress will be trying to pass the 28th Amendment to the US constitution. This would give the States the ability, with resolutions of 2/3rds of the States, to overturn onerous and improper federal law.

Since Texas will be able to complete its normal legislative business much faster than normal, plus the extra stuff they will want to do, they should turn their attention to both advocating for the passage of the 28th Amendment, and compiling a list of resolutions that can be proposed to other States to help put the federal government back in order.

No because not all Conservtives support your amendment, on the grounds taht it already exists in the 10th, and this amendment would weaken that!

I didn’t know such an ammendment was being considered. I would also word it to give the states a similiar ability to overturn Federal court rulings.

Which requires two-thirds majorities. It will fail.
