The Judge is playing catch-up but is performing a valuable service by getting the summarized information out to the public.

Obama is going rogue obviously because there is no Congress to rein him in.

What is needed ASAP is described below. Thanks to Freepers Jim Noble and Tolerance Sucks Rocks for valuable input.

Repeating here an illustrative example of how the power of Article V can be unlocked by the States to restore federalism:

************************************************
AMENDMENT XXVIII

To redress the balance of powers between the federal government and the States and to restore effective suffrage of State Legislatures to Congress, the following amendment is proposed:

************************************************
Section 1.
A Senator in Congress shall be subject to recall by their respective state legislature or by voter referendum in their respective state.

Section 2.
Term limits for Senators in Congress shall be set by vote in their respective state legislatures but in no case shall be set less than twelve years nor more than eighteen years.

Section 3.
Upon a majority vote in three-fifths of state legislatures, specific federal statutes, federal court decisions and executive directives of any form shall be repealed and made void.
************************************************

If Section 1 above can be replaced with a repeal of the 17th, then that’s even better but it may be a hard sale. Section 1 above gets the job done by making US Senators pay attention to their State Legislators and at the same time requiring both to interact with the state voters.

I would strongly recommend the following must-see video of Mark Levin be watched, consumed and studied:

And I would strongly recommend all to urge respective state senators and state representatives, and the people that work for them, to view it

I think a non-delegation of legislative powers amendment has to be part of the mix.

After all, it is OUR legislative powers which WE delegated to a Congress, who the hell are they to pass them off to an EPA or Medicare?
