The Problem is I don’t know how to fix it

It's The Liberty Amendments, or war. I wish there was another way, but I don't see it.

All that remains of the Constitution are certain forms, which no longer function as designed. The real nail in the coffin is that almost nobody WANTS them to function as designed, and an administration committed to the rule of law that somehow snuck into power would be overthrown in six months.

It's the defection of Congress from its responsibilities that's at the core of the American Crisis. They have willingly surrendered all of their vital powers to make representative government a reality - the power to declare war, the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof, the power to regulate the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme and inferior courts, the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, to legislate over the District of Columbia IN ALL CASES WHATSOEVER, the power to regulate commerce among the several states - all given, gladly, to the Executive Branch.

It's quite like Rome, after Julius Caesar. The Senate still existed, but it served no significant function.

We will not overcome this, I fear.

Agree, if the Liberty Amendments fail to pass or are ignored by entrenched DC machines, then it will be war, the main point it that the Article V is one of the few exit ramps before heading over the cliff of civil war or eternal police state....
