 this writer has a sure fire way for those of us fed up with the federalies, to make a large change to that horrible problem. read this and tell everyone you know, and perhaps something could come of it;


With the hard left looking to stack the Supreme Court, to eliminate the filibuster, and to take national control of all election laws – changing them in ways designed to benefit the hard left – the question of how to resist starts to take center stage. In my last article, I discussed what America would look like, should the hard left get their way. Part one can be found here: America 2.0 – Rule of the Hard Left.

Two methodologies are being thrown around. Actually, there are three, but I am not advocating the violent overthrow of the federal government (I hope such a thing never becomes necessary), so I am focusing on methods that fall short of armed revolt. One method is a Convention of the States, and the other is the process of Nullification. Both methods are as old as our nation.

I do not believe a Convention of the States is viable, for a number of reasons. One is that I think Democrats at the Federal level would successfully ignore it. There is no reason to believe that a Federal Government that ignores the Constitution would recognize whatever changes a Convention of States makes. The Federal Government would, rather, declare the Convention of States to be illegal (they may even call it an attempted insurrection), and they would call whatever the Convention of States agrees on to be null and void, based on the Convention of States having no authority over the Federal Government.

Someone is going to point out that the process for a Convention of States is IN the Constitution. Yes, it is. But legal power and physical power and two separate things, and the physical power are held by the Federal Government. Unless the Federal Government accedes to what the Convention of States agrees on, the Convention of States has no teeth.ws – changing them in ways designed to benefit the hard left – the question of how to resist starts to take center stage.
