We have a federal government that is not enforcing the constitution or obeying the constitution. Right now there is nothing to prevent Obama from writing an executive order saying he can run for a 3rd term.

What makes anyone think that even if you pass new constitutional amendment that the federal government would obey them?

The only solution I can think of is nullification. The states created the federal government therefore the states have the ultimate authority for determining whether federal laws are constitutional.

If two people have a contract it is unreasonable to assume that only one of the people in the contract has the sole authority to interpret the contract.

I am not going to poo poo this effort but I do not think just because there is a new amendment that it will change the current relationship of federal government to the states or its people.

I will absolutely support Mark.

I’m not poo-pooing the effort dave, I said it’s a noble suggestion.

However, the idea of state nullification of Federal laws WILL result in the use of force to put that nullification down if a state refuses to obey federal orders to comply and demand they cease ‘rebellion’.

Fact of history: tyrants and their systems will not suffer any challenge to their power. They WILL use force if other means of coercion do not succeed in eliminating those opposed to them.
