1-3 more SCOTUS Justices for this marxists administration and this becomes an insurmountable obstacle to my fervent wish and desire for your suggestion that is constitutionally viable (until SCOTUS says it’s not). Frankly, I doubt we could defeat the supremacy clause now but that defeat is certain with 4 more years of Obama.

Following original intent, it isn't us to SCOTUS to make that decision.

However true, therefore, it may be, that the judicial department is, in all questions submitted to it by the forms of the Constitution, to decide in the last resort, this resort must necessarily be deemed the last in relation to the authorities of the other departments of the government; not in relation to the rights of the parties to the constitutional compact, from which the judicial, as well as the other departments, hold their delegated trusts. On any other hypothesis, the delegation of judicial power would annul the authority delegating it; and the concurrence of this department with the others in usurped powers, might subvert forever, and beyond the possible reach of any rightful remedy, the very Constitution which all were instituted to preserve.
James Madison, Report on the Virginia Resolutions

According to the man who wrote it, anyway.
