The authors interpretation is that Levin is in effect proposing re-write the constitution, or write his own NEW constitution with a large number (11 ??) amendments to it, not one of which will actually be passed.

Levin isn't suggesting that all his ideas be the amendments, they are just that-- his ideas-- things that he thinks would be helpful.

It is up to each us to push our ideas to our representatives, the ones that would be in attendance at a convention. He merely gives his ideas as example.

Levin is only pushing that we have an Article V not the content of it. He is pushing a possible solution instead of just beach, whine and complain.

If he makes money for his time spent searching for and studying the solutions and then working to promote such-- why shouldn't he make that money--he earned it?

A teacher makes a salary for teaching and Levin has a legal foundation to run as well.

I hope he makes plenty from his book.

That's a judgment for individual book consumers to make for themselves, not for me to make.

I am not King like Obama is.

The last Levin book I bought and read was ‘Men in Black’ 2004, in that one he said that filibustering judges is unconstitutional. Of course as soon as Obama was elected he called for filibustering his judges.(who-da-guessed ?)

More recently just a month ago or so when Harry Reid took that same advise that Levin gave Republicans in 2004 to break the rule to change the filibuster rule on judges, Mark freaked out on his show (not unusual of course LOL)

At any rate, at least Levin is willing to have the discussion of ideas before just shoving things down America’s throat, like they did with CommieCare without even pretending to read it. He’s not a congressman with power, they are, and look what they’ve done.
