It's a delicate balance between respecting the rights of the several states to govern themselves, and saving the citizens of those states from the greedy, corrupt, or inept state legislatures.

Then amend the US Constitution to allow for the Federal Government to exert such authority. If this becomes law it will be overturned.

Unfortunately it won't. The 10th Amendment hasn't been enforced since the 1930s.

No kidding. Would be nice if our congress critters actually read the constitution. Things would be better if they all acted like Dr. No.

Why amend the Constitution when they can simply create a law and let that law be challenged? If it stands, then that is the way it is. If it falls, then time to try another angle if need be.
