“In 1940 the US Supreme Court ruled in United States v Darby that the Federal minimum wage is constitutional. There’s little chance of that precedent being reversed, so a constitutional amendment is needed.”
Kind of like what was said of Roe v Wade?
No, Roe v Wade was a subject of continual outrage, unlike US v Darby.
And even if the federal minimum wage is ever held unconstitutional on 10th amendment grounds, that leaves all the state and local minimum wage laws which do even more damage. We need a constitutional amendment to take all our governments out of the price-setting game that made Venezuela what it is today.

States are beginning to assert their rights and powers. Our Founding Fathers intended states to be an entrepreneurial market place, competing with ideas.
There are hints of this in our future. The satellite countries of the Soviet Union also reestablished their sovereignty from the heavy central govt. We need to look to them for some ideas. Anyone remember Lech Walesa? and the many unnamed individuals behind him.
