“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.Then once patriots get state lawmakers angry with the crook feds then patriots and state lawmakers need to include the following provisions in the repeal amendment for 17A.
Give states the power to recall members in both Houses of Congress, citizens able to recall representatives and state lawmakers able to recall senators.
Give states the power to fire bad-apple Supreme Court justices on 3/4 (2/3?) majority state vote, same supermajority required to ratify an amendment.
Correct
Plus, the current system favors the political parties.
Senators should be answerable to the local government officials, not the unelected party bosses who control the re-election purse strings.
Patriots need to get state lawmakers up to speed on how the corrupt feds have been for decades stealing state revenues in the form of constitutionally indefensible federal taxes.

You are speaking my language. Most folks earning a living, are doing it within the borders of a state where the business climate, and the state infrastructure are in support of those jobs, employers and employees alike. Meaning, the state has an interest in the money earned, which unfortunately goes direct to Washington DC without stopping at the state level to have extracted what the state needs for it’s support.
That would essentially cut off the unlimited money supply that Washington uses to blackmail the states into compliance with whatever scam is the scam of the day, be it Medicare, medicaid, Social Security, the ever increasing extension of the debt limit, the states need to control the purse strings.
