I would agree we need to fight for them, but we CAN do it in a civil manner, at least, for the time being. Active Civil Resistance - as I've mentioned many times, the answer is in the Declaration of Independence:
"Governments are instituted...deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed."
It's time we stop consenting. That doesn't mean we have to break the law. It means we need to make the sacrifices necessary (freedom isn't free - that doesn't just apply to our men & women in uniform). Go Galt. Check out. Stop consenting to the tyranny. No laws need broken. We just need to check out. Of course, that means the loss of our jobs, mortgages, bank accounts, etc. but again, freedom isn't free. We are either patriots who will stand, or we will kneel and accept our chains like good subjects.
Article V won't change anything at this point since, as you point out, it will be ignored anyhow.
I will disagree with the idea that we should not ‘break the law’.
In a tyranny, failure to comply with tyranny and unjust rulings IS breaking the law.
The refusal to comply with the Crown’s edicts was ‘breaking the law’ and resulted in the entire might of Great Britain sent to subjugate the colonies and force their will.
We will see the same, though via economic means first - and then by brutal force.
Refusing to comply with tyranny MEANS we must break the “law” by refusing to comply with it.
Since the rule of law is dead in America, and the Beast in Government and the oligarchy make up laws and rules to suit themselves while exempting themselves from the laws they impose on the rest of us - means that complying with the “law” is consenting to tyranny.
Scripture tells us that if people do not think and act as the Beast demands, they cannot make a living.
Here we are. Do we comply with this beast in D.C., or do we defy them and therefore break ‘the law’???
The truth is that there is no “law’ left in America anymore. What we have is rules enforced at the end of a gun to our heads.
How many are comfortable with living like that?
Methinks far more than you or I are willing to accept.
