“...Is it Time for Civil Disobedience?...”
“...What say you?...”
-
I have been, and continue to be an ardent supporter of an Article V Convention of the States.
I do not consider my support of an Article V Convention of the States
to be Civil Disobedience; it is, instead, Civil Obedience at its finest.

Most of the public folderol over the recent decisions from the supreme court
seems to be about the gay marriage decision, which was just another mile-marker
in the “long train of abuses and usurpations” of the federal government.
It was less ominous to me than the affordable care act decision, which was an out-and-out lie.

On the one hand,
the court made yet another poor interpretation of the nebulous
and poorly written language of the 14th amendment.
An amendment to the Constitution could fix that.

On the other hand,
the court determined that plain words in black-and-white on paper actually have an opposite meaning.
Based on that, the courts could determine that where the words on paper say:
“Congress shall make no law” it actually means “Congress shall make a law”.
How can you fix that kind of idiocracy, unless you also amend the Constitution to provide
for a method either for Congress to override the supreme court, or for the States to ignore them?

An Article V Convention of the States is the last chance for the nation to survive intact.

There is no alternative.

I’m OK with an Article V Convention, IF, AND ONLY IF, LIEberals are locked out!

If LIEberals take over, we are toast!
