A majority of Nevadans say they believe it is time to revive a proposed constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget, according to a new poll.
And in a measure of how residents feel about Uncle Sam these days, a majority either support or would not rule out letting states repeal federal laws if two-thirds of the legislatures agree.
A so-called "repeal amendment" to the Constitution is an idea in its infancy. It has not been tested in debate but is compelling on its face to conservatives and Tea Party advocates in Virginia, where the House speaker says he might propose it in the next session.
