Look it over. Think about it.
My biggest complaint: It keeps making reference to protecting "unenumerated" rights and liberties. Good luck with that; For a couple centuries, we've been fighting over whether or not any given law violates our "unenumerated right" by arguing over whether or not it's a right to begin with.
It's simple logic; You can't accurately test against a category whose contents and boundaries are undefined. Either a right is enumerated, or it'll be fought over. And it's likely it'll be suppressed and curtailed, even if it is enumerated.
Personally, I think most of the "bill of federalism" is a rehash of the 9th and 10th amendments.
