Many of the egregrious violations of the constitution have been at the hands of the gramscian Marxists using the federal court oligarchy to rule via proclamation rather than legislation.

Let's turn the tables on the federal oligarchy and return power to the STATES where it rightly belongs!

The Convention of states will bring up amendments to be able to:
1) RECALL Federal and Supreme court justices via STATE legislatures
2)Set TERM LIMITS on Federal and Supreme court justices.
3) Impeach and remove Federal and Supreme Court justices (I think that might already be possible, but if not it is definitely another option the state convention could vote on.)

And note, this is NOT a constitutional convention to rewrite the constitution. It is a convention OF the states BY the states, to amend the constition to bring power BACK TO THE STATES! (Any amendment proposed must be ratified by 3/4 of state legislatures and there is no way states would vote to add any amendment that would give increased power to Federal government.)It can be used to add an amendment which nullifies a previous amendment! (17th amendment for example)

Forbes.com: "Big Political Story of 2016 Will not be Obama" What could be bigger news than a presidential race? According to Ralph Benko, journalist and contributor to Forbes.com, a Convention of States is going to be the top story in two years' time. In his article, Benko describes the Mt. Vernon Assembly and its importance to the history of the United States. He mentions the Convention of States Project as one of the primary leaders in the Article V movement, and praises the state legislators who kicked-started the process in Mt. Vernon. He concludes:

“The big political news of 2016 will not be about the presidential race. It will be about how nearly 100 citizen-legislators began a process that restored liberty to America. The big story is bigger than presidential politics.

The big story is Constitutional. It is a story about how liberty-minded Americans such as Sen. David Long, of Indiana, Rep. Chris Kopenga, of Wisconsin, Rep. Matt Huffman, of Ohio, Rep. Gary Banz, of Oklahoma, Sen. Caryn Tyson, of Kansas, Rep. Yvette Herrell, of New Mexico, and Sen. Kevin Lundberg, of Colorado (co-chairs of a coordinate Article V Caucus), and other state legislators such as Del. Jim LeMunyon, of Virginia, began the process of restoring liberty to our sweet land.” See link for rest of article.

federal court oligarchy

Amen. We have runaway leftist courts due to the 17th Amendment. Absolute practical unaccountability.

I hope Ted Cruz gets aboard the Article V movement. In a daydream of mine, he does a Patrick Henry of 1765 on our corrupted senate.
