Just have a judge, any judge, just one single judge somewhere in this big country to rule them unconstitutional. That’ll be the end of that. Is there anything happening that tells you they won’t do that? We’ll get mad, all the people involved will get mad, but they won’t have any plan to stop it and our reps wont’ do anything because they hate term limits.

I wouldn’t debate Levin on what color the Alabama Crimson Tide wears. People who agree with him get called “stupid jerks” unless they agree with him the right way.

You’ve got that right. And God help you if you DISagree with him.

The 10th Amendment recognized the structure of the constitution. It didn't “give” anything.
The government hasn't be federal for a hundred years. The 17th Amendment overnight turned a federal republic into a democratic republic.
If you support federal government, you should support Levin's amendments. They not only return the states to the senate, they super-federalize the government with additional ways for the states to check DC.

Neither the proposed amendment to empower 3/5s of the States to override any federal law nor the proposed amendment setting term limits is addressed in the article. Do you have any comment regarding the proposed amendments discussed in the article?

Basically, pretty good criticisms. The author identified the unintended consequences of proposed laws. Most such amateur “legislators” forget, that if passed into real laws, their work product will be interpreted by judges. The wordier the proposed”laws” the greater the room for “construction,” and “interpretation” by judges. Judges are no longer our friends.

Levin calls ‘em as he sees ‘em. When a caller is polite, levin responds in kind. When one is rude or cocky, all bets are off. And I love him. He’s a good man. Bob

All they have to do is give up the Federal funds and exert their sovereignty.And protect their citizens from having to contribute to federal funds. Otherwise it's all out, nothing in.

So, where lies YOUR hope for a better America? What is your solution? More Boehners and McConnells to save us?

Two things that would immediately alter the size of the federal government:
A constitutional amendment that prohibits Congress from exempting itself or any other branch of the government from any law passed by Congress.
Eliminate income tax withholding and make tax day the day before federal elections. Imagine the voters reaction when they get a huge bill from the IRS and have to write that check the day before the election.

You assume that “salvation” is possible. I see no evidence that it is. We will live for a long time in a process of perpetual decline. The American of European heritage will disappear into poverty, ignorance and a victim of insult, assault and death. The latter for the purpose of providing amusement for others. Sorry!

Fair answer. Levin believes in fighting ‘til his last breath, however.

Marks has read some of the contents of some of his amendments. They seem so filled with legalize that they create more ‘unintended consequences’/legal loopholes [a treasure for lawyers] than they resolve.
==
The supporters of an Article V seem to think only they can propose amendments and, thus, control the process.
The Leftists/Progressives and their lawyers will be lined up from California to DC to challenge anything they don’t like.

To: GraceG
state secession
State secession is not the answer because most states' larger cities have large populations of leftists/progressives.
The red states are not going to ban people from the blue states. Thus, over time, the leftists/progressives will increase in number and in influence and create new messes in the separated states.
Certainly, a state like Texas is not going to build a fence around Austin and require passports for anyone entering or leaving.

"Mark Levins Liberty Amendments: Legalizing Tyranny" We already have tyranny; Levin is simply trying to fight it.

Who will enforce the new provisions?
Congress and presidential administrations have been picking and choosing which laws they uphold and which they ignore for years.
I smell the need for a new bureaucracy to enforce compliance, and that defeats the call for smaller government. So, how would it be determined and what would be the method of enforcement?

Supporters of Article V, like the Framers, know that the people, through their states have a God given and constitutional right to frame their government.
Obama has repealed Article I Section 1, which established the American republic. Vast powers have left the states, people and congress, and swirled into the executive and judicial departments.
There is no republic to lose, yet possibly a republic to regain, through a state convention to propose amendments.

What good would federal picking and choosing do if the states don't let them get away with it by simply acting themselves as if the feds are operating without charter?
Would we see a Democrat administration roll tanks through downtown Dallas or Tallahassee?
