If your intent is to limit the scope and power of the federal government over the states with a constitutional ammendment, I think there are better ways to do it than by forcing a sunset on laws. Why not change their constitutional powers directly if you're going to change the constitution.

So you're saying that it's a bad idea over all, and that the devolution of power can be done in other ways - or that it shouldn't even happen at all?
