The people should challenge their illegitimate government. Could get mighty ugly.

Here are some 'facts':

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Thanks for the reply.

“Here are some ‘facts’:

I just hope those revolutionaries aren't a bunch of socialists who are “seeking safety and happiness” in a totalitarian regime or the next government may be even worse.

I think states will begin to debate whether they can stay in a union that has deviated so far from founding principles. Those who believe in the original premise of the Constitution should be free to reorganize around those sacred principles. The trick will be getting out alive. They want us to pay for all of this socialism.

It's not just our right. It's our DUTY.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security"
