Levin is a do-nothing, bloviating, cuckservative.

Very timely, and the obvious solution to the multiple problems we face as a nation.

I have absolutely no interest in the merits of the thoughts of James Madison, the "father of the Constitution" because Mark Levin 200 years later shares his views.

No need to examine the merits, we will just kill the messenger.

Interesting, isn’t it, how all of the assurances presented in the Federalist Papers have pretty much fallen by the wayside?

Question: Are Levin’s so-called “liberty amendments” a good idea?

I vaguely remember running into their text on the internet (or maybe a library book) — but it seemed to me like the answer was “no” precisely because they were “written by lawyers, for lawyers” and one of the best parts of our Constitution is that it was written for the common man to understand.

Even more than 200 years later it is, for the most part, quite understandable; Levin’s proposed amendments seemed like psudeo-intellectual “legalese” rather than something meant to be understood, compared and contrasted to the simplicity of, say, the Seventh Amendment: “In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.”
