Some excellent comments on this thread!

Agreed ... it starts with a vote and ends wherever it has to. We should have been throwing these bums out the entire time and shame on us for failing to do so. But we CAN start doing it now and a whole new batch of fresh faces will be an excellent place to start.

Agreed ... complacency is our worst enemy. People panic at the thought of making even minor changes, let alone major ones. You want some major changes? How about secession? Or some state nullifying federal law that affects ... oh ... payroll tax withholding? Capital gains tax? How about Oregon sez SCREW YOU and just starts drilling for oil and gas or building reactors without “permission” from Uncle Sugar? Sound like fun?

Agreed ... a Constitutional Convention would be scary ... but just HOW scary? Theoretically they COULD write a new Constitution, and I’d be willing to at least look it over. Because if they did, the Several States would have to ratify any new Constitution. They don’t just get to write one (if they were able!) and have it take effect the next day. Doesn’t work that way. On the other hand, what happens if a clear majority of our brethren want a new Constitution? What then?

Agreed ... expect no help from the courts. We could have avoided all of this grief if the Sleeping Nine were still doing their jobs. But they aren’t.

Agreed ... an act to make Congress “live in our world” would be great. But who is going to vote for it? That’s why we need all new Congresscritters, top to bottom. And no, “your guy” isn’t the only good one! THEY ALL SUCK!!

Agreed ... “whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it” by any means necessary, including violence.

All of this being said, I look forward to Judge Napolitano’s ConLaw class!!
