As for the amendment process, funny that when the patriots fought the revolution, they declared the right to alter or abolish the government. But then when the framers created their own, suddenly we only have the right to alter our government if we can get 2/3rds of both houses and 3/4ths of the state legislatures to agree. Not really in keeping with the Declaration of Independence.

This God given right to consent to your Government was never ceded away. It couldn't be since it is God given.

The Federal Government is not what concerns me, it is the thought process of my fellow Americans. To think that there are people that believe that one person's hard work and investment for their children's future is rightfully theirs for the taking, is downright sickening. Beyond the latest Republican victory, how do we chain Fedzilla within the confines of the Constitution, this time for good?

I'm of the opinion that the States, the creators, need to reclaim their rightful authority. This is no business for the courts, since they were not a party to the compact; but a creation thereof. I probably have more to risk than most that post here, as in regards to stock & bond market fluctuations and loss of capital. But, I'd give every cent I have to ensure my children can live free. Flags and songs be damned!!

Don’t look for confines in the Constitution. It’s full of holes.

C’mon, this bonehead idolizes an atheist, Confederate deserter. What are the chances he’s gonna understand or respect what you’re talking about?
