Constitutional Amendment proposal to streamline legislative repeals to hit Congress soon

Very interesting:

Constitutional Amendment proposal to streamline legislative repeals to hit Congress soon | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment: "The Repeal Amendment calls for allowing states to band together to repeal, or overturn, federal legislation. As it is written now, if approved and ratified, two-thirds of states’ legislatures would need to vote in favor of a repeal.

The proposed amendment reads: “Any provision of law or regulation of the United States may be repealed by the several states, and such repeal shall be effective when the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states approve resolutions for this purpose that particularly describe the same provision or provisions of law or regulation to be repealed.”"
