A Simpler Federalism Amendment
Randy Barnett is proposing a Federalism Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I think a much simpler Federalism Amendment is possible:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
We REALLY REALLY mean it this time! Honest!

I keep saying: if you want federalism with teeth, abolish the Federal judiciary and let the States judge when Washington goes over the line.
"We REALLY, REALLY mean it this time"
Yeah, I kinda get that flavor out of it, too. If the Congress and the courts are ignoring what's already in the Constitution, what makes anyone think they'll refrain from ignoring anything we add?
