Some one made the point that the states created the federal government, not the other way around. I don't see how we can roll federal power back without getting rid of an old supreme court decision based on the commerce clause of the constitution. In the 1950's that was explained to us in such a way that virtually anything the federal legislature wanted to do could be justified under the commerce clause. Basically, the supreme court used the commerce clause to gut the 10th amendment. Any powers left to the states under the 10th amendment are left them at the whim of the federal government, such as family law. Now with gay marriage they want to dictate that function from Washington too. What about a constitutional convention?

If enough people are on board, it won't matter what those few hundred people in Washington tell us.
