The States were supposed to be the fourth branch of government. Then we look at a place like California and see its government acting in total regard of the law, insanely so.
The States created the Federal Government and the States have the power to change it via a Constitutional Convention. This convention could create several new amendments that would severely limit the responsibilities and power of the Federal Government. I’d also like to see a new amendment which would allow the states to nullify any court action that is clearly contrary to the original meaning as written by the founders.
