What say you?
I read a similar piece last year at Canada Free press. The person there touched on the same points. While the points here are valid; the system in DC is completely a wash, there is a flaw. The Federal Government no longer responds to the will of the people. They will also not yield to the will of the states. Several activists judges can easily smack down any sovereignty resolutions or laws the states choose to pass.
Even though it might be somewhat ineffectual, we should try to support folks at our state level. There is a possibility that if enough states simply refuse to play ball, the fed might make a fatal error, and really lose the people.
That being said, we have been concentrating on the head of the snake in DC. We also need to pay attention to it's autonomic nervous system; the bureaucracy. It continues to function no matter who is in office. Overload it, overstress it, confound it...whatever it takes. Make it cease to function, and the head withers. Just a thought, but it might be a topic for discussion.
I must say CL I was very disappointed that a larger amount of states didn't step up and file lawsuits. With only 13 states filing lawsuits this makes it easier for the SCOTUS to slap them down. The SCOTUS won’t make the right choice because they fear a Congress that change their numbers and allow the President to stack the court with activist judges. I suppose if it was 38 it would have been a better fight. What's really sad is this polarization is now in the states. States are filing based on the political party affiliation of the AG. As long as we have this type of deep division in this country I fear we will be unable to change anything. The Founding Fathers had deep division over what type of government should be implemented however they were able to rise above their personal motives and do what was best for the nation. We don't have people of such caliber in politics these days. It's all about special favors, leftist agendas, control of the people, and money. We have indeed lost our way. This is why I am a proponent of call and Article V convention. I know this worries many, but you could set the ground rules going in not to amend the constitution in a way that take away liberties. Many are worried that the leftist will get their tentacles into the states and push their agenda. But it might be our only option because as it stands now Washington just continues to ignore our Constitution and the SCOTUS doesn’t have the courage to do the right thing. Washington is broken.
