But nobody in government, least of all the senior “leadership,” has the will to do any of that. To start down that road we would need serious leadership that would:

It's not about repealing Amendments. The Constitution and laws are pieces of paper. They don't matter if you can't enforce them.

If we cut off entitlements, or try to deport illegals, there will be BLM style riots -- but on a far greater scale.

So you would need the will and power to crush the riots, and forcibly deport men, women, and children.

To do that, you would need the loyalty of the police and the military, and the will to use them.

Laws no longer matter. Control of the streets does.

Obviously I was writing about an ideal world where you could do those things to save the economy and the nation. As you point out, NOT ONE of those things I listed is possible.

Also, as you point out, you need a Nation of Laws for any of those things to work and we are no longer that.

“If we cut off entitlements”

Everything can be done gradually.

Sorry, candy has been taken off the SNAP eligibility list.

“try to deport illegals”

Maria spent all day in the school auditorium. She won’t be admitted to class until we pay off a teacher.

I can’t pay more than $12/hour because I first have to build 10 affordable houses before I can build 5 upscale houses.

I was told by the Mexican border guard that these pills were fake.

They have the right color, shape and markings.

Dear Landlord:

Section 8 will have expenditure recapture lien requirement.

No payments will be made to you by the government until the lien is recorded at your expense.
