Greg Abbott Wants a Convention to Undermine the Working Class

Spoiler alert: these amendments would solidify power in the hands of states which consider themselves mini-states and fiefdoms, like Texas.

Summary:

“Prohibit congress from regulating activity that occurs wholly within one state. Require Congress to balance its budget. Prohibit administrative agencies from creating federal law. Prohibit administrative agencies from pre-empting state law. Allow a two-thirds majority of the states to override a U.S. Supreme Court decision. Require a seven-justice super-majority vote for U.S. Supreme Court decisions that invalidate a democratically enacted law Restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments by limiting the former to the powers expressly delegated to it in the Constitution. Give state officials the power to sue in federal court when federal officials overstep their bounds. Allow a two-thirds majority of the states to override a federal law or regulation.”

Yet, none of this would be extended to cities. The gall of state-supremacists like Greg Abbott.
