Our Constitution is in real, mortal danger at this very moment. The enemy is ignoring the restrictions imposed by our founding document — have been since FDR and even before — and we need to take strong action to get back on track.
There are actually very few powers granted by the Constitution to the central government. Nowhere does the Constitution give Washington the power to impose vaccine mandates, or speed limits, or restrictions on the sale of 100-watt light bulbs, or … or … or … But you get the point. Using the word “free” to describe American life is getting difficult.
If strong medicine is indicated, and it surely is, then let’s roll up our sleeves. Certain Amendments would NEVER be approved by Congress but an Article V Convention could force the issue. Term Limits for all those bums now in office would a splendid start for an Article V Amendment.
Put in a no-nonsense chairman to avoid shenanigans and we could pass such an Amendment in no time. Then move on to the next Amendment.
(As friendly reminder, EVERY U.S. VETERAN swore an oath to “support and defend” the Constitution. Yes you did! And that oath carried no expiration date. The time has come to support and defend, y’all.)
I took that oath and have not forgotten it. I was a reactor operator on a submarine.
