“I think the conservative revolution needs to kick it up a notch.”
Absolutely. I’ve been toying with an idea... Orin Hatch had the Judiciary Committee do an in depth study of the 2nd Amendment, going back to the words of the founders where they clearly stated that it was a right of the people. It was a lengthy examination & was published. You can get it on Amazon. I’d like to petition the Republicans to do the same thing for the General Welfare Clause, and then write a new amendment requiring that it be interpreted to mean just what the founders intended - limited to interstate issues, & nothing else. That would limite judicial rulings, & would be the crux of getting rid of the vast majority of federal departments. What do you think?
Good idea. Unfortunately the judicial branch is made up of people who are deferential to the executive branch.
My favorite solution is for congress to be required to approve all federal regulations before they become in effect. We would get a few benefits from this. First, and most important I think, is accountability. Congressmen would be able to be held accountable for the laws. Second, it would negate expert opinion in favor of popular opinion.
We weren’t meant to be ruled by people everyone agrees are smarter than us.
I think you have a good idea. While we’re at it, we need to have the “subject to the jurisdiction” in the 14th Amendment clarified. I know what the original intent was, but the left has created a whole new meaning of the 14th Amendment, as it has with countless other laws and judicial decisions. I guess it’s that “living, breathing document” bullshit the left trots out in an attempt to render the Constitution meaningless.
