Once again this is a stuip idea that I don’t think I could support: The tenth amendment already covers this, what we really need is an amendment limiting the courts to rule in an originalist way, and making it easier to impeach them.

The Tenth Amendment does, indeed, cover the power to do this, but there is no overt mechanism for the states to exert that power. In other words, when the federal government overreaches, there is no formal nullification process for the states other than the governor to say "Screw you". This amendment could be that nullification, although I think it should be simple majority.

I am all for that.The activist judges have been way out of control for way too long.

The problem is the U.S. has too many laws.

99% of laws increase the size and power of government.

So all previous and future laws must be be made to expire after 3 years. Then if that law is really needed then it will be passed again in 3 years. The problem is once democrats pass a law like Obamacare then it is forever, forever growing government agencies and spending like a cancer.

almost all laws reduce people’s freedoms.Example the law that created and authorize the TSA.

Almost all laws cripple private businesses and so the people's opportunity to get good jobs. Example the law that created the EPA. Now the EPA will use global warming rulings from the Supreme Court to basically shut down and new coal power plants, any new manufacturing, any new factory, etc. Look this up.

Almost all laws have mandatory spending like the laws that mandate social security , medicare ,medicaid that alone mandates over a trillion dollars in annual spending.

Trouble is the tenth isn’t really followed anymore.

[unspun]

There is nothing stupid with this idea.
