The Repeal Amendment

Our Constitution is supposed to be all about checks-and-balances, but it's pretty much been a one-way street when it comes to the relationship between the federal and state governments.  The states have seen their power erode...or just stolen...by the Feds since the nation's founding and Mark Levin has an idea that could return some of the balance that seems to be missing:

(Mark) Levin has come across a proposed amendment that basically says that two thirds of the states in agreement would be able to veto legislation passed in the federal government. Thus it would provide another layer of checks and balances against laws like, say, ObamaCare.

There's audio at the link of Levin explaining his proposal. I think it's got some merit. There's also a website set up to promote the idea.

Ed Morrissey thinks that rather than create this new amendment perhaps all we need to do is simply scrap the 17th amendment.  It would have the same effect without some of the complications that might occur with the new amendment.
