Incoming House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) says Congress should “keep an open mind” about a constitutional amendment being proposed in his home state of Virginia that would allow states to overturn any federal law by a vote of 2/3 of the states’ legislatures.
In offering his support, Cantor says:
The Repeal Amendment would provide a check on the ever-expanding federal government, protect against Congressional overreach, and get the government working for the people again, not the other way around. In order to return America to opportunity, responsibility, and success, we must reverse course and the Repeal Amendment is a step in that direction.
Where to even start?
