Can someone please explain WHY states need to pass resolutions for amendments ALREADY IN THE CONSTITUTION? ...

One of my favorite characters in the world is Ernest T. Bass.

Did you know he was the director of most of the shows?

Actually, I think the spirit behind these resolutions may be the last, best hope for recovering a constitutional form of government short of all-out chaos.

My fear is that:
- elections maybe too compromised by outright fraud,
- the electorate has been too dumbed-down,
- the Executive branch has abandoned any pretense of respect for the rule of law,
- representation is lost due to "lifetime" Senators & Representatives whose main focus is perpetuating the lobbying/campaigning system, and
- a judaical system - dominated by Progressives - that would need a thousand lifetimes to trace the status quo back through stare decisis to a legitimate Constitutional foundation.

The last standing institution that may be capable of plowing the monster under is a united effort of a large number of sovereign state governments (all 3 branches) loudly proclaiming the Federal government has violated its contract with the States and is no longer legitimate. And we'd have better odds placing all our chips on 00 and spinning the wheel.

Does anyone else see a way back to the Constitution? Please tell me I've missed something.

“Already in the Constitution” is meaningless if all branches of the federal government ignore the limitations placed upon them by said Constitution.

The states need to pass these little “reminders” of the limitations of the fedgov’s powers. Then, if it continues to ignore those limitations, and the reminders, there will be stronger actions taken, until, of course, there’s a full blown confrontation.

The only way back is for the states to refuse to enforce or allow to be enforced those dictates that violate the Constitution.

And the definition of “violates” DOES NOT rest in the hands of the FEDERAL judiciary.

It rests in the hands of the STATE LEGISLATURES. They are the entities which allowed the formation of the fedgov in the first place.

Yeah, he was a real smart guy. Seems like I vaguely remember something about hum being a director. I’ve seen him in other roles and you hardly recognize him.

The play between him and Barney was some of the best comedy I have EVER seen.

“As for reasserting state’s rights, I think it’s great as long as it’s not lip service. The federal government has become an all-encompassing cancer, permeating every part of our country and our lives. It will kill us if we don’t do something, if it’s not already too late. Our nation is very sick.”

Sadly, Our Country and Federalism are dieing because of folk's blind patriotism. If you've seen the responses towards States {like Texas} it's rather sad!

Unfortunately, We are now confronted by fighting two battles/ Public educations forced stupidity and stopping a run away train.

The more I study the WBTS-The more I wish it could have waited 140+ years.

I’m glad I watched Idiocracy.

It shows me the world which homeschooled kids are going to live in.

Is the U.S. Senate Obsolete?

by Robert Nelson on July 14, 2009

in Economic Policy, Federalism, Public Finance, Social Policy, Tax and Budget

Syndicated columnist Neal Pierce has been writing about state and local affairs since at lease the 1970s. In a recent column, he asks, “Are State Governments Obsolete?” It might have been more appropriate to ask whether state governments actually exist — at least in the traditional constitutional sense. Blessed by the Supreme Court and other judicial rulings, state governments have become administrative appendages of the federal government.

In one area after another in the twentieth century — matters of transportation, public health, land use control, education, wildlife management, etc. — the federal government assumed powers that had traditionally been reserved to the states. States might still have an administrative role, but they are now working under a very tight federal leash.
