I listen to Levin's Podcast regularly I just don't agree that making more laws that can be ignored is the answer, it may help, it may not. I am no opposed to it, in fact I am generally in favor of the goals, I just don't think outlaws care what the Constitution says. We need a new Sheriff to take down the Old Crooked Sheriff, who will then become the New Crooked Sheriff, can't you see that?[:-)
There is already a ‘new Sheriff’ in waiting and it is comprised of 7,398 state legislators.
Here’s what they need to propose as an amendment to the Constitution:
To redress the balance of powers between the federal government and the States and to restore effective suffrage of State Legislatures to Congress, the following amendment is proposed:
AMENDMENT XXVIII
Section 1.
A Senator in Congress shall be subject to recall by their respective state legislature or by voter referendum in their respective state.
Section 2.
Upon a majority vote in two-thirds of state legislatures, federal statutes and federal court decisions shall be overridden.
Section 3.
Term limits for Senators in Congress shall be set by vote in their respective state legislatures but in no case shall be set less than twelve years.
________________________________________
Now if Section 1 is replaced with a repeal of the 17th Amendment, then that’s even better but it may be a hard sale. Recalling US Senators gets the job done for state legislatures.
With the above amendment, there would be no Obamacare, no same-sex marriage nonsense and so on.
