I would support an amendment that (1) clearly allows for state nullification of federal laws the state’s legislature believes violates the Constitution, (2) required Senate consent for the publication of all federal cases that may only after publication be used for legal precedent; (3) repeal the 16th amendment and disallows any income tax by federal, state or local government on individuals; (4) repeal 17th amendment and return the Senate to the States.

My dream amendment is known by the name of the Utah Option, although how it got that name back in the Eighties is beyond me.

If the legislatures of three-fourths of the states pass a Resolution of No Confidence in the federal government, that government is dissolved. Elections for president, vice president, the House and all Senate seats will take place after 30 days, and no incumbent will be eligible to run.

Following installation of the new government, the entire federal bench will be fired and replaced by the new government.

This will solve a lot of problems.

If the president and attorney general can nullify laws they don’t like, why should states not do the same? Chicken, I guess.
