Eric Cantor Lays Groundwork for Repeal Amendment

Incoming House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., is among the proposal’s most significant supporters, which means it will receive serious attention during the 112th Congress convening this week. Whatever one’s view of the propriety of amending the U.S. Constitution in the manner proposed by Barnett — and for the record, we think the Repeal Amendment is a dandy way to restore the proper balance to our federal system — the professor’s idea could not be more appropriately timed. For the last decade, presidents and Congresses representing both major political parties have caused federal spending, regulation, and debt to explode as never before, with a result that the central government is in truly dire financial shape even as its power to control the most minute details of American daily life has never been greater. This fact is central to understanding why the vast majority of Americans — 64 percent, according to Rasmussen Reports’ Dec. 29 survey — think the country is headed in the wrong direction.

DC Examiner Endorses Repeal Amendment

The Repeal Amendment would require that both Houses in 2/3 of our state legislatures vote to repeal offensive laws enacted by Congress. A debate on this idea possibly may start shortly, hopefully(imo) I would love to sort through all the pros and cons.
