I am thoroughly enjoying the state resistance movement. Despite the dinosaur media’s attempt to ignore it, there is widespread revulsion with our consolidated government in DC.
Our determination to fight oppression will be better spent if more effort is devoted to an Article V amendment convention than nullification.
Truthfully, I look to conservative majorities in both houses and the office of the POTUS, to get enough change. Just a constitutional convention may not be enough. It is time for the removal of the metastatic cancer, and that is so extensive it needs to be done from within.
The office of the POTUS must be strongly reduced in power and arrogance. The judiciary needs major organizational reforms and repurposing. Congress also needs a major adjustment to how it does business.
And then the fun really begins. It is a matter of percentages. By what percentage should the federal government be reduced in size? 10%? 30%? 50%? What agencies should be eliminated, and which should be downsized?
At the same time, mostly because it is faster, congress will pass constitutional amendments for both a balanced budget amendment and a presidential line item veto, then send them to the states for consideration. Right now, the states are very close to holding a convention over the balanced budget amendment, so congress would do this with the idea of approaching it from the other direction, which many consider to be a safer option.
Miles to go and so very much to do.
