Don't 'Vote for the Candidate'

The intervention by the courts has enabled the left to circumvent the Constitution and circumvent the legislative process. The left gets its way in the bureaucracy, the courts, and very often in the federal legislature. They certainly get their way in many state legislatures but out of 99 state legislative houses the majority are still Republican controlled and many of them are actually conservative. However weak they are, they are a more propitious battleground than the federal legislature, the federal courts, or the federal bureaucracy which now dominate everywhere.

The idea of Article V is to change the venue, an old leftist trick but in this case it would be done pursuant to the Constitution rather than by stealthy infiltration.

The idea is to find better ground upon which to fight, away from Washington, but even legislatures hardly promise the scope of reform that you and I believe is necessary. The alternative is to wait passively for the Armageddon; to continue doing what we have been doing so ineffectively in the past in the forlorn hope that somehow the Senator Espes, the Justice Roberts, the nameless bureaucrat will all get religion and we will get better results; or to prepare the ground, new ground, to strike when some national crisis reshapes the national mood and the Constitution can be realigned to its original purpose.

I am motivated not by optimism but by desperation.
