When the government puts itself above and beyond the constitution and thumbs it proverbial nose at the basis for its existence...”We the People” the only alternative is revolution. It has happened only once in our constitutional history, being the Civil War. But our constitution was founded on principles to prevent this governmental tyranny in a revolution against England masters. Are we at this point again? I see no action as Cruz says from congress to rein in out of control branches, agencies, etc of the federal government.

I would rather the legislature be able to over ride a ruling like they over ride a veto.

No, you’re wrong on that.

A new amendment is designed that leaves all control and enforcement of the amendment to the States. And there is nothing, not one thing that SCOTUS or Congress can do to get around it:

Designing an amendment to leave it into the hands of the federal government is what’s always been done. The amendment in the link above is designed to be left in the hands of the States. It levels the playing field; it’s a game changer.

>>How is tyranny to be restrained?

Well, for starters more SOCIAL conservatives must start exercising their 1st amendment responsibilities instead of just worshiping the Created Things associated with the 2nd.

And that means being able to articulate a response that consists of more than just regurgitating something that was heard on Talk Radio, or on Sunday morning.

You said it well. There are none so blind as those who Will Not see. We must elect Ted Cruz as the man who will seek God’s Wisdom in leading this nation.

Cruz is a superstar that comes once in a generation, perhaps a lifetime.

And we have so many good ones to follow him: Walker, Abbot.

I’ve always said that Ted Cruz is the candidate that can save the sinking ship that is America and make it seaworthy again. Then people like Walker can take the seaworthy ship and steer it straight.

I pray that it’s God’s will that we elect such men for the next 24 years or more; we surely need a break from what’s gone on before. We need a golden age of good leadership.

Well. All of us have been seeking a man with a real backbone and it is Ted Cruz.

Make this text go viral: it is very important for this country and for you and children.

Cruz for President 2016!

“I wonder what will happen to our right to practice our
Christian religion under the first Amendment?”

That depends on us. Are we willing to stand and declare our religious freedom? Are we ready to hold accountable those who try to take it from us? Are we committed to electing a President who will lead us in the fight?

If we are willing to do those things, we will prevail!

My Church is growing fast.

Our states mission is to reach out to people who are far from God.

Even the old Soviet bloc states at their worst did not allow this sort of rubbish and degeneracy foisted upon their citizenry. This is as bad as it gets.

I overheard an interesting conversation a few weeks ago.

I reside in a small farming village a few miles from the Canadian border. It's a conservative little town with a lot of Dutch ancestry. There is a Dutch restaurant a few blocks away that offers large country breakfasts, and I go there often.

I overheard what sounded like two Republican committeewomen discussing the Convention of the States movement. Then I heard the name "Phyllis" mentioned a few times, and I realized that one committeewoman was educating the other against a Convention of the States. "Phyllis thinks it's too dangerous."

My social skills are good enough that I stayed out of it. On one hand, it's good that the idea is gaining traction. Unfortunately, Schlafly's opposition is turning a lot of people against the idea out of fear.

We have our work cut out for us.

The states need to band together and defy this ruling by refusing to obey the Court’s decision.

Wow! That’s the best I’ve felt in 2 days.

A politician beating his gums makes you feel better. With me it's usually a BM that puts me in a good mood. Let me know when the governors start raising the militia.

It is not just the judiciary that is lawless, indeed treasonous, the entire democrat party and the propaganda media (MSM) is just as treasonous. They intend to destroy the Constitution and with it America. Senator Cruze, I support you but your response is inadequate for the task. How about this, Congress should vote to limit the jurisdiction of the court. Cut them off at the knees. Quit pretending the court's a lawless decisions must be followed. The court is not nobility. They are not Dukes or Barons who's every dictate must be followed under penalty of death. Or are they? Perhaps they are. How about Congress eliminate he seats of activists judges. Teach them a real lesson. Or are the people going to have to teach them a lesson? We are fed up with our arrogant, dictatorial government.

The Great Falling Away has begun. It will accelerate in September.

Well the rest of the GOP has been ball less in their responses.
Cruz is proposing something strong. If those black robed tyrants think they might be voted out of their cushy chairs, they might start performing their duties within the constitution.
