This is a step in the right direction. Force the fed. gov. to abide by the Constitution.

Congress has passed a long list of legislation which violates the Constitution. The Supreme Court has gone along with most of this. The book to read is “The Dirty Dozen - How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom”, by Robert A. Levy & William Mellor.

For example, the authors argue that programs such as Social Security are unconstitutional since they take money from some taxpayers and redistribute the money to other taxpayers. We do not have individual Social Security accounts because our money is given to others who earned less during their working years. It’s not even funded - there is no “trust fund”. It’s a Ponzi scheme which, if set up by a corporation, would result in corporate executives going to jail.

All the States should asset their sovereignty and refuse to comply with federal intrusions.
