Rather than secession, I think we need talk of having a constitutional convention. Top issues should be reining in government spending, the Federal Reserve system, and putting some controls on the judiciary (bench term limits?) to curtail/end a judiciary that legislates from the bench.
Open up the entire Constitution to be completely rewritten by the jackasses of the voting public and the dimwits that hold elective office today in this country? No thank you!
At the very least, as an intellectual exercise, people ought to discuss what the next Constitution should look like. Mind you, I think the original is a fine document that would be difficult to improve, but I would point out the following as weak points:
First Amendment -
If an intolerant religion approves of violently oppressing other religions, do we treat them just as we treat all other religions?
Lots of Americans think there is a mandated Wall of Separation so that religious sentiment cannot/should not influence government. Prayer in public schools? Uhhhhhh, isn't that against the Constitution? We need to clarify.
Second Amendment --
That allows the National Guard to exist, right? Or, it's aimed at hunters, yes? We need to clarify and make the purpose explicit.
There's an amendment that lets the government tax your wages. Bad idea.
There's an amendment that lets The People elect senators rather than the States. Bad idea.
The government can spend money it does not have. Bad idea.
The Constitution is a great document. But we need a better document. And I'd like to see a Constitutional Convention, but I'd like to have a sense of what they'd be voting on first.
