Just a small point. Although there is plenty wrong with this article (the reliance on “globalization” is just one of many problems), I would argue there’s nothing wrong with using the term “repealing” with regards to a Constitutional provision.
Just read the 21st amendment: “The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.”
To: Conscience of a Conservative
The 21at Amendment went through the amendment process, rather than a repeal by Congress, or worse, by a President or by five Justices of the Supreme Court. Once the 21at was duly ratified, then it was in the constitutional stature to strike down the Prohibition Amendment, however that was phrased.
