F*ck the filthy Obamacare cheerleader.
I voted for this POS when he entered politics, and then he went full bore Orrin Hatch in later years.
the minute article 5 is invoked, the media, libs, rinos, etc. will do a pigpile on the second amendment. there is absolutely no way that this can be controlled, especially in this day and age.
IF Tom Coburn would but read the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution he would find that they already do limit federal power.
Why is that I can never find a Con Con Conner that can answer one very simple question, “Exactly what is you want to change and why?”
99% of the arse holes wanting a con con don’t even know we are a Republic and not a democracy.
Constitutionally undefined federal agencies like the EPA, IRS, etc. can disappear too.
And the repeal amendment for 16 & 17 can compliment the 10th Amendment in the following way. The repeal amendment should include a provision that requires presumed guilt of unconstitutional expansion of federal government powers for any federal government action and legislation that are questionable under any of the powers that the states have expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds.
"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." --Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
In fact, since corrupt Congress cannot be trusted to police itself with respect to making legislation that is reasonably based on powers which the states have expressly constitutionally delegated to Congress, the states need to constitutionally require Congress to reference specific constitutional clauses in all legislation to reasonably justify the legislation, regardless if one House chooses not to pass the legislation.
The state legislatures need to give themselves the same constitutional authority to collectively exercise the same powers of impeachment and removal from federal office that Congress has, including removing lawmakers from office.
Also the clarification of Congress’s limited power to appropriate taxes by a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices needs to be enumerated in the Constitution.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
This crap will go the same way of the Equal Rights Amendment and the Fairtax movement...nowhere.
An Article V Convention can be invoked when two-thirds of state legislatures call to change the Constitution.Who, besides Google, Facebook (1st amendment)
Be careful what you wish for.
Your plan is to use a nation that thinks trannny bathrooms is the civil rights issue our time to tinker with the Constitution? You can’t even get your party to agree to kill Obamacare
