Barnett is superb. I have a first edition of his The Rights Retained by the People, and Restoring the Lost Constitution. Barnett explained the "proper" of necessary and proper better than any founding father. I was glad to hear Mark Levin speak of him a few nights ago.

And I fully expect that the Supreme Court would try to forestall its adoption by moving toward the original meaning of the Constitution . . . No doubt!!

In his resolutions, the states don't ask congress or scotus for anything. They tell them what they are going to do and why. Nice.

Amendment #1 income tax. Gone
2. Restoration of the commerce clause.
3. Unfunded mandates. Gone.
4. Treaty power may not supplant Art I Sect 1. (Anti-Federalists had warned of treaty abuse.)
5. Clarification of free speech.
6. Formal state nullification of regulations.
7. Rotation in office. (Mark will add judges)
8. Balanced Budget.
9. (My favorite) Explication of our 9th Amendment rights, the presumption of liberty!!!!
10. Our constitution means what it says. Yipppeee!

Yes, but if we could get just one, it should be term limits. What motivates normally sane, moral individuals to abandon all integrity and toe the totalitarian line? RE-ELECTION. Our electeds throw us under the bus every time to stay in first class.
