Not sure why this hasn’t been updated. The referenced resolution by Steven Palazzo died. However, two new concurrent resolutions are awaiting action – SCR528, authored by Sen. Chris McDaniel and HCR2, authored by Rep. Jessica Upshaw. Hopefully, this time they’ll pass and become law.

You are right on, most of the problems we face, as a nation today is a direct result of a power drunken National Government that is completely out of control.
Since 1913 when the 17th amendment was ratified, which changed the way we select our US Senators, Which took away the states the power to control the Federal Government The Feds have been usurping power away from the states, with all of the bureaucrats they have put in place, example US Fish and Wild life a duplicate of the State fish and wild life and assumes power to control the states’ right to manage their own fish and wildlife.
The problem was really caused by power hungry federal elected officials that is no longer held in check by the US Senators as they were before the 17th Amendment.
Before the 17th amendment the Senate was appointed by the state legislatures and they answered to the state legislatures. In this way the states held power over the Feds since the Executive branch could make no appointments, treaties or declare war and etc. without the approval of the states, through the Senate, Congress could make no laws without the states approval through the senate, the courts only had jurisdiction as dictated by the states through the senate.
Solution we must repeal the 17th amendment to restore states’ right and hold the feds in check in this way we will enforce the 10th amendment
