Thank you, Sir. MOST informative, well put, and dire.

Thanks, I was not a bit disappointed with the response it got here. This article ties together a lot of the work I've published here over the years. Most of that work was well received and engendered considerable discussion. I had thought this one would evoke even more discussion, perhaps about other simple amendments that would make unmistakable the limits of Federal powers in concluding international agreements and the hierarchy between treaty and Constitutional provisions. For example:

This Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, all international agreements notwithstanding. Or, A President of the United States who agrees to terms exceeding the authority of the government of the United States as enumerated in this Constitution shall be removed from office. IMO, in Constitutional law, the simpler the text, the better.

This is FreeRepublic, supposedly the premier conservative discussion site on the web. Why don't more FReepers want to discuss such ideas? After all, we have the intention of coming back against the Slave Party in 2010. Wouldn't it be nice to have a few concrete proposals and descriptions constructed for public consideration?

Had I made the topic a "gun thread" my guess people would have been all over it. Yet this subject DIRECTLY pertains to gun rights. Can't they see that?

Drives me nuts.
