I find it abhorrent that a single federal judge thinks he/she has the authority to overturn a state constitutional amendment.
CA and NY are considering state constitutional conventions to start over, to completely rewrite the central nervous system of their states. It would constitute tyranny for a federal judge to pick and choose or rewrite which articles should be retained
So if a State put into its Constitution that no one in that state had to pay federal taxes, or serve in the U.S. armed forces, that would be enforceable? Nonsense. Article VI quite clearly says that the U.S. Constitution and federal laws are supreme over any State Constitution. And the federal courts have been exercising their power to strike down state laws as unconstitutional since at least Martin v. Hunter's Lessee, which was back in 1816.
