You seem to know your constitution. Would you happen to know if/how such an ammendment would limit the powers of government agencies who are operating outside the constitution (by mandate) such as the FCC and EPA? I’m just curious.

I'm not familiar with the amendment they are proposing, but I would assume that any amendment that provides a way for states to nullify a federal law would also cover federal regulatory agencies. Since these agencies ostensibly act under the authority of Congress, then an act of the agency could be nullified in the same way that any federal law passed by Congress could be nullified or, theoretically, the entire agency, itself, could be nullified by nullifying the Congressional Act that spawned it. I'm sure the amendment would have to be worded carefully to include this, however, because otherwise some activist judge will take it upon himself to limit the amendment by creative interpretation.
