 Mark Levin is booking for a rules adjustment and re-alignments of the USAs’ constitutional republic.
 http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/mark-levins-liberty-amendments-premieres-no-1-amazons


Is this a right wing – libertarian attempt to over through the Obama government, an insurrection? 

What, who initiates this?

Can it become a position for the 2014 election, especially for the governor’s?

Is an author, a book of what for and how come’s, a beginning for this?

Has there ever been any other individual or group attempt to mass a contingent for this purpose?

Even though an event of such is a legal recourse, if authority is diminished now creating the reasons for, what authority upholds the renewal of or new amendments ratified?

Would this event at a minimum, be worthwhile for the cultivation of civil governance?

The opposition will be; anti-governing, separatist type’s, settled arguments/status quo types’ or more than 50% of the active voting public?

This is uncharted territory and we are not there yet or the beast will dissolve such an attempt?

A List/part of the rule update:


--Imposing a 12-year limit on serving in Congress.
 --Returning the election of U.S. senators to state legislatures.
 --Requiring Congress to balance the budget and limiting federal spending to 17.5 percent of GDP. -Limiting federal taxation to 15 percent of an individual's or a corporation's earnings.
 --Empowering a special congressional committee to veto regulations issued by federal bureaucracies.
--Prohibiting Congress from compelling anyone to participate in commerce (such as forcing them to buy health insurance).
 --Requiring Congress to publish the final text of any proposed legislation at least 30 days before holding a final vote on it.
 --Requiring individuals to present a state-issued photo ID that establishes their identity and citizenship before they are allowed to register or vote.
 --Putting tax day and election day back to back.

Does anyone have any residual doubt that a Constitutional Convention would allow all sorts of crazy ideas to pop up?

There was a good reason for direct popular election of US Senators -- and the Tea Party election of 2010 shows what sorts of politicians are possible in the Senate if some fad takes over a bunch of state legislatures. Cranky state legislatures (and many of our State legislatures are that) would appoint cranky pols to the US Senate.

Maybe elections could be limited to white male property owners. We would probably end up with government of the Wealthy, by the Wealthy, and for the Wealthy. Sure, the poor would survive -- as serfs. That's how things were in the Jim Crow South, and things weren't good for the poor white people of the South, either.

We need to go sane before we even contemplate radical reforms to our political system.

?#10. Is the consensus of a state; lesser, an equal or greater than the consensus of global warming science?

?#11. In the context of 180 degrees out of phase, has sanity been affected?

?#12. What would be the reason for the US civilian population not being capable of civil governance?
