[Rule of Law]

Thanks for the ping.

I am working on something I call the Kansas Option.

During the period before Kansas became a state, people moved to Kansas for the sole purpose of influencing the question of whether Kansas would be "slave" or "free".

It seems to me that we might do the same thing to get a state or states that will try seccession. Or at least nullification.

I believe that seccession would work this time because the "international community" would be sure to protect any state that broke off from the US. After all, the US has been preaching "self-determination" since Wilson. The world would no doubt love to see the shoe on the other foot.

If we did this, we'd have to be ready. We'd have to have a Constitution already drafted and ready to adopt. I'm working on a draft.

One of the big features would be to do away with elections. Representatives and members of the Electorial College would be chosen by lot. State legislatures would choose Senators and nominate people for President and VP.

Federal Judges would serve for 9 years.

No one who was in office could ever hold another federal office.

I'll let you know when I finish.

Rule, there is no need to draft another constitution, the original one the usa is violating would work just fine. i would believe the international community would back secessionists if they didn't count so much on the us government checks... when i am elected governor of maryland, i will push the envelope of secessionism.

With brilliant ideas like this, one wouldn't expect such an effort to go far, would one? What your other "big features?" Can't wait to hear.
