The last time I could find either party having a “Super-Majority” (2/3) was way back in the 74th Congress in 1935. And, that was the Dems.
With 47% of the electorate willing to vote for a Democrat even if he/she was a convicted serial killer, I don’t see a “Super Majority” worthy of conversation. Mathematically, it is not possible. You might say it’s a myth.
So, back to a point of agreement in your kick off post today. You used the term “non violent”. Maybe there is some hope for that but not if people like Boehner, McConnell and many others keep lying to us.
That said, you asked for “other ideas”. Here are a few:
1. Employ the “Penney plan” immediately to get the government headed in the direction of being balanced in 5 years.
2. Convene the Article 5 convention using Levins Liberty Amendments as a basis to update the Constitution.
3. Strictly enforce the 10th Ammendment.
4. Repeal the seventeenth Ammendment.
5. Abolish IRS and replace it with one of the Flat Tax proposals.
Now, you will say, or someone will, the liberals in the Democratic Party and the Liberals in the Republican Party will oppose all of that. And, you will be right.
So, can violence be avoided, Some of us are beginning to think Jeffferson nailed it again on his comment about watering the “tree of liberty”.
Excellent list of priorities. But I'm as pessimistic as you. Still, we have to keep plugging.
Hi Cen-Tejas,
Good List! Thank you!
I’ll see what I can do to promote the “Penny Plan” and encourage a corrective Constitutional Convention.
And maybe we need a new “March-0n-Washington”.
I wonder what the chances are that the IRS will implode before April 15?
