“My vision of America is 50 separate states with no Congress, no Supreme Court and a President in charge of strategic defense and nothing else. We don’t need a federal government anymore. Too much hassle and dangerous.”

So you want to essentially do away with the Federal govt. I think we tried that and called it the Articles of Confederation. It didn’t work too well and resulted in the constitutional convention. I can’t say the fed govt we have today is working today is any better. Rather than going back to the 1700s for a solution how about we take govt back about 60 years when nearly EVERYTHING seemed to work better.

Not far enough. 1950: We’d just lost China, Truman gaff leads to Korean War and stalemate, Truman tries to nationalize steel stopped miraculously by the Supreme Court...

Everything was in place to get us where we are now.

I want Andrew Jackson. I want the 16th & 17th Amendments repealed. I want a Supreme Court that is not statist - which means before Kansas City School Board, before Plessy and before Dred Scot, before John Marshall - all WRONG WRONG WRONG!

We started with a nice document that has been 200 years in destroying.
