We have now had the Court's "campaign finance" rationale for perverting the First Amendment. We have seen the so-called Commerce Clause abused to the extent where bedrock principles of Federalism are casually nullified. Now property rights have become mere local convenience.

Colorado has enacted a Taxpayers Bill of Rights. But since words do not mean what they say, and statutes do not say what they mean, our "legal minds" are as free to ignore and discard this document as they have the original Bill of Rights. (When was the last time any precedent cited, say, the Tenth Amendment? Anyone guess why?) In truth, the plain will of our Founders, expressed over centuries in America's rich heritage, has been co-opted by arrogant, insular, bands of ideologues, who no more have popular interests at heart than they have understanding of anything outside their self-indulgent fantasy-world of sophist expertise.

You want a Constitutional Amendment? Retain an honest and well-intentioned Third Branch by abolishing the Supreme Court as presently constituted, replacing it with a form of jury-system advised but not dominated by pro tempore legal authorities unable to cavalierly slash-and-burn judicial landscapes. Dangerous, you say?-- what we have now has proven itself far more so, and now that these dynamics have built up, you can bet our malfeasant little Courtiers are just getting started.
