There is no Constitutional “solution” to the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into (other than the 2nd Amendment), because TPTB don’t respect the Constitution. The only way we’re going to wrestle our Republic out of the jaws of those who want to see it dead and gone, is for the states to form a coalition to tell Congress, the Obammunist, and the courts how it’s going to be. The states need to tell DC which laws, which governing bodies, and which court decisions they’ll (we’ll) abide by, and reassert that “federal” means power shared between the states and the national government.

If the federal government Leviathan can pick and choose which laws to enforce then why can’t the states do the same with federal laws?

Article VI of the US Constitution. Second paragraph.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

And then there's that annoying Lincoln precedent from 150 years ago.
