Thank you for posting the article.

The article is very well written and has some very good insights into the Supreme Soviet's recent Alice in Wonderland Oberkfell decision and it's insane, twisted, perverted logic.

I disagree however, that the Extremes abolished Article V of the Constitution. They certainly ignored it but it is still there, available to be EXERCISED.

And I don't mean by the first method, but by the second. (Waiting for and putting our hopes in US Congress critters feathering their own nest and exempting themselves from the laws to which they subjugate us is like waiting for Hell to freeze over. They are part of the cancerous tumor eating away the life of this Nation. They are not going to upset their own nest.)

The solution is right there already, embedded in the Constitution:

Article V The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
Article V of the United States Constitution allows us to call a Convention of States to restrict the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, effectively returning the citizen's rightful power over the ruling elite.

The Founders understood the jealousy and ambitions of power. That's why they wrote the Constitution the way they did and why they put that Article V CONTITUTIONAL CHECK on Federal power into the Constitution. It is a CONSTITUTIONAL SOLUTION that, as Mark Levin says, is a big as the problem.

So let's let the States be jealous of their own powers and put these Federal tyrants back in their rightful place.

Cordially,
