Re: 79 -“The Constitution offers no process to deal with a rogue federal government including the Supreme Court as we have today.”
It most certainly does. Impeachment for one. The power of appropriation by the Legislative for another.
The issue is - is there the will to do something.
Trump for dictator! 2024
Impeachment is for misconduct by officials.
But the Constitution doesn’t address and entire (or 80%+) rogue federal government which we have today.
The anti-federalists were worried about that very thing. Patriots need to do what they can and trust in the help of Divine Providence which our Founders did.
Impeachment is for "civil officers". I noted Impeachment as some Federal agencies are arguably acting outside the scope of their authority (e.g. DHS Secretary Mayorkas).
But the Constitution doesn’t address and entire (or 80%+) rogue federal government which we have today.
Power of the purse, investigations, etc. The former is not easy, but is within the purview of the Legislative branch per Article I Section 8.
Yes, well, if the feds don’t do it soon, the people and the states MUST rise up and deal with this rogue government.
The states are often beholden to the Federal government for funds. Rightly or wrongly, the Federal government tied receipt of many Federal highway funds to the increasing the state drinking age to 21. That would be something - a state saying that they will forgo those portions of funds for a larger issue.
One of my themes included in recovery of our Free Constitutional Republic.
States must assert their constitutional sovereignty and STOP FEDERAL FUNDING.
Has to happen. As you suggest, going to take governors who care about freedom and America than their own short-term pollical future.
“I’m not sure why you would think the Executive would comply with Congressional subpoenas.”
I don’t think that - that was my whole point. I think the deep state will have to be driven out by force.
