To: stars & stripes forever

Again maybe necessary, but not sufficient. If Americans don’t take ownership of THEIR LIVES, LIBERTIES and HAPPINESS by taking ownership of THEIR Constitution, everything else will be a temporary stop on the way to the political gallows.

Article V is precisely the means to take ownership of lives, liberties, and happiness. There is no higher earthly power than decisions made by the people in their sovereign capacity.

Regarding judicial opinions that supplant Article I, the answer is in Article III or a convention of the states. When a statute is found to be “unconstitutional,” the statute or amendment is sent back to the legislature that created it. It is up to the legislature to either correct the law, or do nothing. In any event, no court opinion can have the force of nationwide law.

State by state or municipal nullification is a dead end. It is what sanctuary cities do.
