Why Mark Levin is Absolutely Correct...
Individual Rights and Individual Responsibilities are the Hallmarks of
all that is American. The basis of our very being as a country lies within
accepting rights from our Creator and as Individuals giving certain of them to
a government formed of by and for the people. Our Government is limited by its
very nature and subject to the people through their elected representatives.
What has occurred since the ratification of the Constitution of the United
States is the very nightmare discussed so eloquently by the founders in the
Federalist Papers and by Alexis de Tocqueville
in his Democracy in America, a tyranny. The people
have become so ignorant and or so lazy, that they have failed to exercise
proper judgment in their suffrage right as to allow the Congress of the United
States to take to themselves powers not granted to them, and to grant unto the
President powers which they have no right to grant unto it; while at the same
time allowing the President to accumulate powers unto itself powers not granted
either by the Constitution or by the Congress. This has lead to unchecked authority to be
taken by the Courts not granted to them by the Congress, and a Supreme Court
not made of the best jurists, but rather of the most politically aligned
jurists. Our system of government as nearly as perfect as it can be has
therefore found itself in tatters and near failure. The only solution is to use
the authority granted within the Constitution to the People through the States
under Article Five (5) to correct the wrongs by way of a convention to offer
certain Amendments to the Constitution that neither the Congress, the
President, or the Courts have any authority to review, and then should they be
passed by the States in due course, become the sovereign law of the land under
which the Congress, the President, and the Courts must abide.
The movement is afoot to do just this, Several State Legislatures have
approved bills authorizing representatives to be appointed to an Article FiveConstitutional Convention. Hopefully more States will follow and soon the
people will be able to take back their Government and restore faith and hope in
the Constitution of the United States. Term limits on Members of Congress, on
Federal Judges, and on Supreme Court Justices is one item. Another is
explicitly clear language regarding certain clauses the "Commerce
Clause" the "Establishment Clause" to name two, to resolve any
misinterpretation of the stated intent of the limitations intended. Yet another
is repeal of the direct election of the Senate of the United States, and a
return to the previous format where State legislatures approved the appointment
of Senators, assuring that Senators are beholding to the interest of the State they
represent and not to the interest of outside influences. There is a laundry
list of reasonable changes that could be made to help correct crony capitalism
and special interest corruption. The Tenth Amendment powers must be expanded
giving the States more authority and autonomy. Government is and should be best
administered closest to its source, the people.
