BOLD Solution: Power to the States [FR idea]

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

First imagine if our state legislatures had just been elected by the most anti-leftist voters in US history.

[And that just happened. The democrats hadn't been this weak since the 1920s at the state and local level — a different party back then. They were klansmen more than leftist.]

People are ‘screaming bloody murder’. Well they should!

The amnesty blitz, o-care betrayal, ebola-VISA policy, unimaginable government debt, and ...

Let's not forget two other wildly popular ideas: Voter ID and a ban of Gay ‘Marriage’.

We the People want more religious expression too. “Merry Christmas”, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Ten Commandments enjoy overwhelming support.

We want it all BACK!

o o o o

So yes, We the People are ready.

And please bear in mind, the worse things get, the more people are willing to support decisive change— people want more than just slapping band-aids on gangrene. This government needs surgery.

And these should be our most pressing amendments —

1) Voter ID enforcement. [Mark Levin's idea btw.] All but the last of these are ‘single-subject’ constitutional amendments.

2) ‘Gay’ Marriage Ban. This could also be a more comprehensive “Under God’ agreement that I will try to post soon in another thread. Would include Ten Commandments in every classroom, etc.

3) No adult illegal immigrant and no future legal immigrant should benefit from federal redistribution [such as social security].

4) States are free to enforce illegal immigration laws however they may choose.

5) The federal government or federal judiciary may no longer question any state's interpretation of what humane treatment of criminals is. [Among other things it prevents federal meddling of how illegal immigrants are procssed]

6) State empowerment that endures perpetually but also includes an ‘emergency option’ for a ‘Border Czar’.

... or to explain ‘6’ in one painful paragraph of ‘legalese’ ...

Targeted suspension of congressional rules for a multi-problem-solving constitutional amendment that empowers the states’ new Chief State Executive who can also, if empowered specifically through through super-majority state support via state legislators, appoint a term-limited ‘Border Czar’ who temporarily holds paramount authority in both a legal and constitutional sense to commandeer related federal executive branch authority with impunity, but only to focus strictly on border safety, illegal immigration, VISAs, and airport security. Only during our current controversy would this include a temporary power to correct flawed Obama policy regarding expedient amnesty measures even if it means that citizenship due to such expediency is later repealed.

Now back to plain speech ....

Game changing idea here. Solves this border problem decisively, and it solves other problems too including out-of-control spending.

This has been vetted by some outspoken critics, but their attempts were ineffective.

I’m mainly demonstrating what states are capable of via a ‘multi-subject’ amendment. Legislators even at the state level might prefer a stronger central government, and the final checks-and-balances can temporize to reflect that.

Support is largely cautious, but still enthusiastic.

I had deliberatly posted it in anticipation of congressional impotence. Sure enough, there was impotence. And now with Christmas season coming up, I’m refining ‘Under God’ amendment ideas.

Here’s one secret response I received:

“Good list that has the potential to counter executive overreach. Regarding ‘State Empowerment’ that could repeal executive orders, several states already are ignoring federal laws that they object to so there is plenty of precedent for this. Think sanctuary cities and other laws that are openly ignored by states and local jurisdictions.”

Good point.

“The impeachment process is fine.”

It failed under Clinton too. Why was impeachment fine then? We had Chinagate, raided FBI files — oh right. The FBI files prevented impeachment over Chinagate and then the republicans in the House committee were almost universally destroyed through the airing of dirty laundry.

So yep. Let the President hire and fire the FBI director, let the president therefore misuse the FBI files as well as the IRS to intimidate his congressional watchdogs.

Please don’t get too used to the stink we’re wading through.
