Bump for comment tomorrow. Too tired tonight.

Thank you.

Lately I’ve been a little concerned about my own future in this very unstable world in which we now find ourselves. But today it occurred to me that - if that danger comes - it is exactly because we are *at war*. And with that knowledge came a strength from some unknown source - suddenly my concern for self abated, and was replaced by a sense of eager anticipation.

I’d be honored to join you in that first wave to restore the Constitution, John! I took the military oath to support and defend the Constitution years ago and it remains in full effect, all these years later.

But we also need that young Marine on guard duty. Any elected official who violates the oath of office, such as proposing illegal laws, needs be shot on sight.

Failure to enforce the Constitution is what got us into this mess in the first place.

I believe that the only way Americans will ever get tort reform, or a flat tax, is via the Constitutional Amendment route - for the critters in Congress, there are too many conflicts for them to endure. BUT, if one or both of those issues were written into the form of an Amendment, the people of the U.S. would certainly support the validity of the Amendment and, I’d guess, the Amendment would pass in the ensuing election, Congress and President be damned! In fact, someone like a Newt or a Cong. BB could write a book espousing the idea and include the proposed Amendment(s) therein.

Thank you, John, for your sacrifices in the legal trenches on behalf of our Constitution. It is a strategic front.

Not all are called to fight on a battlefield. But we are all called to fight in the same war for our Constitution, our country, and our God-given freedoms and liberties as a sovereign and free people.

Each battle eventually ends, but never this war...

The funny thing is that we keep electing lawyers, who constantly weaken the constitution. Why is it that those who ostensibly know it, are the ones who weaken it?

[Congressman Billybob]

Good to hear from you, my friend. I am amazed at how thoughtful are the comments which this column and thread have generated. Sometimes, ideas ARE important.

Good.

After 45 years of working with that document I am now certain that the essence of the Constitution is under attack.

BUMP-TO-THE-TOP!

We are all in the first wave to save our country from an internal enemy. It cannot be viewed any other way.
