We are all, of course, entitled to think whatever we like. And we do. Critical thinking, however, is less common. Various states have permitted this resolution--resolution, not law, mind you--to be introduced in their legislatures. Two have actually passed it. On what basis do you judge that more than a gesture? Wishful thinking, perhaps?

Even if it were law it does not change anything, so there is little motivation to pass it. Just because it is not passed does not mean the State wants the Federal government to take control of the state. Why did prohibition take the form of an amendment? It had to because of the tenth amendment. Currently each state has an insurance commissioner or similar office. I cannot see this getting passed without some insurance companies, doctor groups, or even states suing.
