TX asserted its sovereignty! Twenty-five states in support. Keep up the momentum. Support an Article V COS!
The concept of Judicial Review needs to be revisited. The courts need to be put in their rightful place. John Marshall be damned.
Going with Art. 5 could be a trap. Like the GOP put abortion on ballot and the left came in from all over the world with big bucks and won. The GOP did almost nothing to defwns pro-life. As a result Red State Ohio has embedded in its amended Constitution a prohibition against passing any law on abortion - anything goes! Worst in the country!
If an Art. 5 Convention of States really occurred we would likely lose the entire Bill of Rights and the Electorial College... for starters.
Is that daylight i see at the far end of this nightmarish tunnel?
The same totalitarians who have corrupted our Constitution will triple-down on its’ destruction if any sort of Article 5 convention is invoked.
Rodney Dodsworth and his acolyte must be “consigned to the dustbin of history”.
The preventative to a possible rogue convention is named delegates in the enabling acts.
Texas could trust Ken Paxton.
The Republicans in Congress should try to send to the states a constitutional amendment that would cap middle class property taxation, such as:
Property tax on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished space shall be no higher the 2019 dollar amount on the property, or for a newer or since resold property what a similar property in the same area would have been taxed at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished space.
Fighting for such a property tax cap would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red.
Even multi-election Democratic voters do not want to get taxed out of their homes.
How would schools get funded if property taxes are capped to 2019 scale levels?
By higher sales taxation and by services taxation that is used in Florida in lieu of having a state income tax.
I don’t want to pay for schooling of the kids of the people pampering the well-to-do. The well-to-do need to pay for such schooling via service taxation.
The Republicans in Congress should try to send to the states a constitutional amendment that would cap middle class income taxation along the lines of:
Federal income taxation of people with incomes within the range of 90% of the full-time federal civilian workforce [i.e. the middle class by income] shall not be at greater percentage rate burdens than in 2023.
What about if there is a war? Federal civilian salaries can be compressed downward as may be needed so the upper middle class becomes no longer capped.
Joe Biden has said he doesn’t want to raise taxes on (two) people making under $400,000.
That scares the heck out of the Establishment. I wonder how they’ll try to sabotage it.
