I disagree strongly with those who think our problems are the result of one woman, or one man.

What’s happening these days is the culmination of egregious actions, and inactions, by a wide variety of movers and shakers, and individuals of influence.

It took decades of careful planning and trial and error by the satanic left. But brick by brick, they destroyed the greatest house ever built by mankind.

The Roberts court is only the most recent and visible manifestation of our downfall.

Via three decisions last week, Scotus repealed free government.

Future elections can only serve to condone tyranny.

What to do?

The next president may well end up replacing the most important person in the country. Think about that next time you swear you absolutely will not vote for someone, anyone, if they are the Republican nominee.

Only too familiar.

But as some might say, what good is a vote anymore. The Supreme Court has just nullified the votes of Millions of American’s.

Not only nullified their votes, but the Constitutions of at least 16 States, who in the scheme of things out weigh the SCOTUS by a very large margin.

“What to do?”

Indeed. It isn’t obvious. What will this nation look like 5, 10, 20 or 50 years from now? I’m surprised nobody has taken up the crystal ball to prognosticate.

Perhaps the best prognostication I’ve read is Lewis’ 1935 book “It Can’t Happen Here.” It’s not a pretty sight , but it sure is playing out quickly.

Liberals destroyed the foundation of the Constitution - Federalism. The States created the Federal Government, not the other way around - and now the Fed is eating it’s children. We could live and let live by moving to another state, but the Federal government through SCOTUS has destroyed that option. Federalism is dead and the only other options are 10th Amendment nullification or secession.

...and expecting weak willed Governor’s to pony up on either?

To answer your previous question, Jacquerie, I would agree with broken_arrow1, who wrote the following:

Of course it is! Long ago, patriots put up their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Now which of those is absolutely vital to the present rulers?

They can replace your lives with tides of eager invaders. Honor means nothing whatsoever to them. If it means something to us we must start living according to our principles.

The US government has become a protection racket. Don't enable it.

They have killed the concept of these separate states united and HAVE forced upon us all to embrace the immorality and dirt of California liberal insanity.

I agree with everything but the use of the word "they."

We the people are responsible. And not just "involved" responsible; "committed" responsible.

The WWII generation was the cap on the boomers lust for power. The WWII Generation were the “parents” keeping the boomer “children” in check. They are gone now and their children are running wild.

So, what to do? Where are the leaders on our side? Where is the mobilization? What is the battle strategy? We’ve suffered 75 years of leftist attacks and provocations and look where we are. On defense as usual, knocked back on our heels again.

Leaders, mobilization and strategy would sure help. I believe we had better not wait for that either. It’s probably somewhere behind the lottery and ahead of the cavalry.

Lottery/cavalry is a reference to a comment I made here:

<>Where are the leaders on our side? Where is the mobilization? What is the battle strategy? <>

I asked "what to do?" in a rhetorical sense. Our only possible redemption is through the reassertion of OUR sovereignty, which can be done without resort to less than peaceful means.

I mean of course an Article V state convention to propose structural amendments to the constitution. Structural amendments must begin with repeal of the 17th Amendment, and end with others to super-federalize the government. Diffusion of power once again across the people, states, and the government of their creation is the antidote to our national sickness, which is the concentration of all power and right in Washington, DC.

Pester your state assemblymen and senator to get on with it.

Convention of States is a good place to start. Also, check out the first chapter of Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments at Amazon.

To Art in Idaho, would you be so kind as to post your list of references?

A political unit the size of the U.S. is an abomination. With 330 million people the individual and family is nullified. In a smaller unit you have so much more influence. In the vast nation, not so much. We think of the EU as some sort of satanic entity and then think that the comparable U.S. is some ideal.
The U.S. started as 13 states on the eastern seaboard. So very different than this continental monster that swallows the individual. It is nuts that a few people on the Potomac rule folks in Maine, Alaska, California, Alabama, Texas.
For crying out loud, Texas, California and New York are bigger, richer and more powerful than most countries.
