Unions rebel against state govt. and states rebel against federal govt. Jefferson and Madison,

[jody]

founders of the Democratic party and authors of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions would be proud - - or would they?

The brouhaha in Wisconsin has prompted many DU threads but I don’t believe any current threads address the state’s rights and Amendment Ten issue that Jefferson and Madison championed.

World Net Exchange has an editorial “States to become referees of feds' constitutionality” on the topic.

New proposal would let committees review legislation for nullification

Two states have introduced legislative plans that would set up standing commissions whose members would be tasked with reviewing "all existing federal statutes, mandates, and executive orders" to determine their constitutionality, then recommending to lawmakers whether that state should "nullify" any federal law or regulation "that is outside the scope of the powers delegated … to the federal government."

And 28 more states are considering the move. Sometimes there have been inquiries from lawmakers, sometimes the requests for information and help have come from the governors' offices.

Will pro-union right proponents also be state rights proponents?
