It (the FT) ain't going to happen, either, because the government won't pass it, in part because it's smart enough to see the threat to itself. I thnk the FT fanatics know this, which may explain their stridency and BS in trying to sell it.

Then you have surrendered. If you are correct, it is impossible to restore constitutionally limited government in the United States.

I don't believe that in the least, but even if you are right, some of us will continue to fight with all our might to the very end.

Well, asking a bunch of legislators to vote for something that is very much against their self-interest is a very difficult task. One needs to either gain tremendous leverage over them, or try a different path. I feel that the Executive and Legislative Branches need to tell the Judiciary to stuff it when they come up with their outrageous 'decisions'. That would make a good start. As far as leverage goes, currently most Reps have safe seats, so that would have to change -- by de-gerrymandering districts via new rules limiting the length of perimeter a district could have compared with its square-root area, perhaps.
