...Back in 2010, (click here) after taking over the House of Representatives, the Tea Party faction of the GOP proposed a "states' rights" change in the Constitution. Sponsored by Utah's Rob Bishop, the proposal was called the Repeal Amendment. It was designed to give states the authority to veto federal laws and regulations.

“Any
provision of law or regulation of the United States may be repealed by

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provisions of law or regulation to be repealed.”...
