Your fears are well founded. I can only say that our Constitution is already largely ignored by congress, and grotesquely interpreted by the “black robes” to the point of being meaningless. In fact, the term “constitutionalist” is bandied about on Capital Hill as a pejorative. A hijacked constitutional convention could hardly be worse.

Exactly! Proposing amendments to our Constitution does absolutely nothing to correct the root cause of our miseries which is our federal government acting in rebellion to our written Constitution and the documented intentions and beliefs under which it was adopted.

What I have not heard Mark talk about or explore is the sound reasoning of our founding fathers who suffered under the tyranny of King George.

And what was their first step? Prior to any forceful actions they put King George on notice, which in itself established a moral high ground and a good faith effort to resolve differences in a peaceful manner.

Indeed, our Founders petitioned King George for a redress of grievances in a number of documents, prior to taking a more direct and forceful approach e.g., see: Journals of the Coninental Congress - The Articles of Association; October 20, 1774

I believe our first step in correcting our problem ought to begin with representatives of our nation’s true patriots, from each of the United States, to meet and unite in forming an official document stating our grievances. This was one of the first steps taken by our founding fathers. Is the right of the people to petition the Government for a “redress of grievances” not contained in our Constitution and one of the specific tools given to us by our founding fathers to be used under existing circumstances? Should our nation’s defenders of our constitutionally limited system of government not work to put our federal government on notice and be united in articulating a list of particulars describing our grievances and the corrective actions which must be taken so no further action is necessary?

Another “tool” contained in our Constitution, and one I specifically embrace, is the impeachment of those who hold and office of public trust who blatantly violate their oath to support “this Constitution”. Is it not dutiful of those we elect to Congress to start impeachment proceedings when a Justice on our Supreme Court blatantly, knowingly and willingly, lies about our Constitution and the limited taxing powers granted to Congress, pretending our Constitution’s taxing powers allows for the implementation and enforcement of Obamacare? Would a refusal to support impeachment of Justice Roberts by a member of Congress not distinguish him/her from a true patriot who supports and defends “this Constitution” and is obedient to their oath of office?

If Mark Levin would use his platform to build a movement to draft a petition of grievances and also call upon Congress to impeach Justice Roberts for his disloyalty to the oath of office he took, would this not work to unite true patriots across America in a common goal in restoring our constitutionally limited “Republican Form of Government” and be addressing our federal governments rebellion against our written Constitution?

Reaching across the aisle and bipartisanship is Washington Newspeak to subvert the Constitution and screw the American People.
