Mark Levin was on with Hannity and a great conservative panel tonight for the full hour to discuss his new bestseller, The Liberty Amendments. Great questions from the panel and great discussion from Levin.
Watch below:

Levin is the North Star.
I like that description. I may use it on Amazon in my review of his book.
If I find myself disagreeing with Levin then I feel impelled to rethink my assumptions.
I saw it. Noting that I don’t trust Levin, I didn’t hear mention of Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. Or did I miss that?
More specifically, Levin’s suggestions to repeal 17A and establish term limits for everybody in DC as examples, are arguably political sophistry to sidestep the idea of a constitutionally limited power federal government.
In fact, before Progressive Movement pirated Senate with 17A, I understand that certain states had problems finding people to be federal senators. But 17A gave flake lawmakers an opportunity to follow the tax dollars.
By reading the book, you become equipped for the fight ahead.
Not a Hannity Show fan, but this was an awesome show. THIS is what talk TV should be about.
I’m missin your point...you do not trust Levin ?

And it goes down hill after that.
The guy has no idea how stupid he is.
this comment alone proves you did not listen completely
I’d suggest you re listen
More specifically, Levin’s suggestions to repeal 17A and establish term limits for everybody in DC as examples, are arguably political sophistry
the more I re read his comment the more stupid it screams
Levin did not say the 17th was a take it or leave it...he put it out there for discussion
You know what I’d do if I were you?
I’d move to Argentina.
Since you seem to want to quit without even trying to right our own ship of state, why not sign on to another?
He is so stupid he’s not worth arguing with.
Not really,load the audience with people who agree with you.Flat out questions right or left would have been fine with me.
Like listening to someone discuss Shakespeare.
Quaint.
Useless.
The most unkindest cut of all
How did Niger Innis get so lucky? He got seated between Monica Crowley and Michelle Malkin.
Thanks for your concern.
As I've ranted in similar threads, the main reason that we lost the constitutonal republic is the following imo. Generations of parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the Founding States' division of federal and state government powers evidenced by the Constitution's Section 8 of Article I, Article V and the 10th Amendment. And I don't see so-called celebrity conservatives like Levin going out of their way to get voters up to speed with Congress's Section 8-limited powers.
In fact, probably the only true celebrity conservative who has dared to take the 3 minutes of air time necessary to mention Congress's Section 8-limited powers, which probably helped to get him fired from Fx News, is Judge Andrew Napolitano.
Judge Napolitano & the Constitution
Given the remote possibility that you haven't seen this, Justice John Marshall had officially clarified the following about Congress's powers to lay taxes. Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, healthcare for example, which Congress cannot justify under Section 8 as Judge Napolitano had indicated.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
I believe that Fx News, including Levin, is deliberately keeping Section 8 out of public policy discussions. After all, heaven forbid if low-information voters were to find out that one of the few aspects of intrastate commerce that the states have actually granted Congress the constitutional authority to regulate, tax and spend for is the postal service, evidenced by Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I. And given Justice Marshall's clarification of Congress's limited power to lay taxes, corrupt Congress would no longer have an excuse to lay illegal taxes to finance the Section 8-indefensible spending programs that it has established to secure votes from low-information voters with.
