To pass even a single amendment requires support of upwards of 75% of voters.
We can win a simple majority election, why in the world are we pining for amendments?
Of course, if we could consistently win simple majority elections, we wouldn’t need the amendments.
Not sure of the premise of Levin’s book, but have been winning on issue after issue, but lost at the ballot box. We have a huge majority of statehouses and governors. Our ideas seem to get muddled in the blur of the national elections.
I often wonder why we’ve had no action on amendments in most of my lifetime. They have been a regular occurrence through most of our history. I get that many feel like we are opening a new can of worms if we give the left the idea of pursuing amendments, but I also wonder if it isn’t worth the risk.
We don’t need any more laws.
We need to return to, and enforce, the original intent of the Constitution.
I love Mark Levin. I have read most of his books.
I think the Power of the State is such that there is no "legislative" way back (at the Federal level) towards a limited government. My reading of history says that only a cataclysmic event will present the opportunity to made a sudden move back towards Liberty.
I believe when the "event" happens, the States offer they last peaceful chance to roll back the Federal Leviathan.
If you read history, true Liberty is only gained in a short period of time (a decade or less). You can't transition over a long period towards smaller government.
In other words, after a collapse, actions must be taken to quickly and relentlessly dismantle all unconstitutional parts of the Federal Leviathan. Large numbers of Federal workers must be fired and must have their pensions revoked. The courts below the S.C. must be dissolved.
For America to once again have Liberty, the counties around D.C. must become impoverished.
