"Senate Republicans introduced a constitutional amendment Wednesday that would make Minnesota the first state to require a two-thirds majority vote in the legislature to approve federal laws affecting the state." http://minnesotaindependent.com/57894/republicans-push-for-minnesota-sovereignty

Should State Legislatures Have The Power To Approve Acts Of Congress?

Postby Drayce » Fri Feb 07, 2014 9:05 pm

While I trust nothing that originated with either of the major parties, I'd say, on the surface, it is a step in the right direction. Large, centralized government is a backwards notion. There are certainly some things that larger national governments are needed for, national defense, for example. But expecting a small, corrupt elite to adequately manage such a vast, complex society as ours is unrealistic.
