The COS’s purpose is to Keep and Restore our current Constitution. Conservatives have been trying to get congress to “do everything that is needed to force our president congress and courts to follow the constitution we now have...” BUT, in spite of all that, its gotten only worse. MUCH worse. The COS, IMHO, *IS* the next step (before, as you state, we resort to break-up... or CW-III). The COS will not change one word or punctuation mark of the Constitution. It WILL add amendments, and some may change prior amendments (eg, repeal of the progressive’s 17th amendment).

I know “They refuse to honor their responsibilities now...”, but *they* are still on the surface abiding by it while stretching the envelope and finding any rational to get around it. We need to propose amendments to tighten up the language, put in place term limits, require budget with an amendment rather than legislation, and so on. If this were not so, then the game is over, and go directly to CW-III/break-up. BUT, I do not believe that is the case yet... (and, fwiw, I’m in a behind-enemy-line state!).

Well put. I agree.

The Constitution must be amended in such ways that will FORCE obedience by D.C. politicians by eliminating wiggle room and that will also reduce the power and influence of the federal bureaucracy.

Make careers in Washington unattractive to power-hungry, greedy snake oil salesmen. If your blood isn't already boiling, read Peter Schweizer's book, Extortion. Then watch Mark Levin on CSpan-2 tomorrow at noon.
