Maybe but it is not a dipositive issue. States with Govneors who have the kahunas to do so need to NULLIFY and REJECT unconstitutional federal laws, acts, and decsions. You can have CoC's 'till the cows come home, but without minds sets on INEPENCECE rather than depence on the feds, you're not going to get anywhere.
There MUST be a change of mind among the states, and the people, and their elected officials. Prepackaged, "instant" approaches like a CoC show a lack of thinking things through and won't cut it. Another bunch of "sound and fury" that basically signifies and will amount to nothing or very little.
Term limits for Senators and Reps?
One good reason for having a VERY LIMITED CoC. However, our $3 Trillion + unconstitutional portion of the feds will need much more than this.
Balanced Budget amendment?
Another wrongheaded idea out of the gate that fails to address the real problem of unconstitutional federal spending and would actually make matters worse, allowing the Lying Left to force higher taxes because of their out-of-control and mostly unconstitutional spending. It would be a disaster.
Re-asseeting the 10th amendment?
Don't need a CoC for that and again fails to address the underlying problem. As I said, a change of mind among the states and the American People from dependence to INDEPENDENCE from the feds is absolutely essential to restore our Free Constitutional Republic.
Putting the brakes on the runaway 14th amendment?
The counterfeit "Incorporation Doctrine" and its fruits for the last 100+ years needs to be nullified and rejected. The best way is, again, by the people through first their states and also by electing more federal representatives like Trump.
Just how do you propose dismantling the “unconstitutional 80%”
The same way Patton proposed to cut through Europe held in the grip of the Nazi arsenal - cut through them like sh#t through a goose - with prayers to God for help. The same way the rag-tag colonists beat the most powerful military force in the world - by determination ad faith in Divine Providence.
But your attitude looks like you've already lost the war. You sound like either a POW or an MIA.
You sound like you live in a pollyanna dream world. If this, if that... might as well as vote for the next hope and change candidate...
“.... States with Govneors who have the kahunas to do so need to NULLIFY and REJECT unconstitutional federal laws, acts, and decsions. …..”
You mean like California & New Your and all the sanctuary cities have been doing; “nullifying” federal immigration laws? They claim they’re unconstitutional! We have to be very careful with this! Though the “immigration nullification” issue might correct itself soon when we get a guaranteed 6-3 (or more!) on the USSC.
Clarifying the “Commerce Clause” would also go a long way in helping!
A BBA with a limitation on spending might be ok. Say spending can be no more then 20%-25% (Still too high! 25% way way too high!!) of GNP.
Forgive me but I really do not know what you are saying. If you are talking about a shooting war, here on US soil, with the Dimwitcrats and RINO's fighting on the other side...you do know we do not have any kind of organization or communication apparatus needed for such a conflict, don't you?
I am sure that you are feeling very strong emotion and this is just hyperbole. We cannot even come to a consensus here on FreeRepublic about whether to vote for RINO's in the coming general election. There are people here who have the deepest hatred for supporters of Ted Cruz. Are we gonna come together under arms? How do you see that happening?
