> “Otherwise that state act and that amendment violates the Supremacy Clause.”
So what? The 11th Amendment then violates Article 3, Section 2? No, it amends it.
Section 2 of Amendment 28 above amends the Supremacy Clause. The states by majority vote of 2/3’s of state legislatures can override anything. And why not? Can 2/3’s of both chambers of Congress override the Executive? Can 2/3’s of both chambers of Congress and 3/4’s of State Legislatures override anything? Si se pueden.
What Section 2 of Amendment 28 above does is tilt more power to states to override anything the federal government concocts. And why not? The federal government has caused a lot of grief and it’s time to put them back on training wheels or in the doghouse or both.
And Section 2 above was not dreamt up by me. It was the work product of Mark Levin and Constitutional Scholar and Law Professor Randy Barnett. You can take issue with them if it pleases you.
You should listen several times to this tour de force presentation before turning green with constipated self-importance:

That kind of amendment doesn't change the Constitution - it essentially destroys it by nullifying its supreme authority.
If you're going to nullify the authority of the U.S. Constitution at will, why do you need an amendment to the Constitution to do it? That's silly. If you're going to ignore the Constitution, why do you need the Constitution's permission via an amendment to do it? Just do it.
But why nullify the supreme authority of the Constitution? What problem does that fix? You need to get back to what is the root political problem. The problem is an out of control government mostly committing unconstitutional acts. How does state nullification of the Constitution fix that? However, state nullification of unconstitutional federal acts attacks the problem directly.
It doesn't really matter to me who the author of this proposed Section 2 of Amendment 28 is. You are advocating and proposing it so I am addressing you on it. What you propose is abandonment of the Rule of Law, the Constitution, which is our only legal protection in this country against the whimsical Rule of Man, which is tyranny. Again, that IS the problem with government today. The answer isn't more of the same at the state level, but putting government, back into its constitutional cage. That has and always will be the key to protecting our freedoms in this country from attack within and without.
