The founder’s vision was corrupted. It is time to return to federalism, to divide power once again between DC and the states.
Please read the column.
Its a pipe dream.
Any change to the present Constitution by whatever you want to call it will only insure the majority will prevail.
Federalism would be dead ..as I say this is an idiot idea no matter who proposes it.
The current constitution places strict limits on the power of the federal government but it is ignored. The courts have indulged the fantasy that there are two clauses which say in effect, “Do whatever you damned well please, we spent all that time writing this document just for show, feel free to trample it into the dirt and disregard it.” If they don’t find permission in the welfare clause or the interstate commerce clause they find it in a “penumbra” or some other nonsense, they are not above saying that left is really right, up is down, freedom is slavery, war is peace etc. They claim the “right of privacy” forbids laws against abortion even though nowhere in the constitution is a right to privacy mentioned in any way, shape or form. Then they turn around and say in other decisions that you have NO RIGHT OF PRIVACY.
If we held a ConCon and voted to return to the original Articles of Confederation (as if that would ever happen) it would mean nothing as long as we have corrupt lawyers interpreting the law. Before the ink was dry they would be claiming that the federal government has the power to do whatever a bunch of damned fools can think up.
