This is not to say that the battle to protect America from Chinese mercantilism is not worth waging, it is.
There is clearly a certain appeal to the cry, "we are in a trade war now," in fact I have been arguing for some time on behalf of an Article V convention of the states that we are now amending the Constitution almost daily by stealth and without even the protection of Article V.
The question is how do we conduct that convention and upon whose values?
