Should the Constitution be amended to give the states veto power over the federal government? [More]
Government doesn't obey its clear proscriptions now. What makes anyone think they won't show new rules the same disregard, and find new opportunities to exploit and new incentives to corrupt?
The deficiency isn't in the incantation. It's in the compliance mechanism.
There's not enough "or else" in the cost/benefit ratio to dissuade those who would abuse into reconsidering what's in their rational self-interest.
Ultimately, we already have "veto power."
