Who cares about the Constitution when you have the New Deal?

"There is a path forward," he writes, "but it requires an enlightened look back at our founding. And what we find is that the Framers rightly insisted on preserving the prominent role of the state legislatures as a crucial mechanism to containing the power of the proposed new federal government." Levin applies that argument to each of his proposals, showing how each new amendment fits into a old procedure whose hour has come.
