The never-ending trampling of the Constitution can be put to rest by a simple Constitutional Amendment:

 “Any elected or government official whose action, or a vote to enact a law, is found un-constitutional by the Courts, shall be charged with treason in accordance with the Laws of the United States of America.”

Right, but the Looney Amendment is for punishing those who do something un-constitutional, be it a low-level bureaucrat, a high-level elected official, or anybody in-between.

Any law that was enacted AFTER 1871 is null and void because the United States of America is a corporation and you are chattel.

Once in office, Trump WILL hold Obomber accountable of all this and more, starting with his fake birth papers. 

Hopefully that will ruin the libtards ponzi scheme and clean some of the political scene.

I'm sure the congresscritters will line up to ready an amendment to put themselves to the gallows the very day it ratifies.

Ultimately the only peaceful means to maintain the Republic by limiting federal power will be to for the states to hold a convention under Article 5. Most so-called constititionalists fear the convention will pass amendments that forces them into gay marriage or such stupidity, or go beyond a carefully crafted mandate like "balanced budget only." To that I say bullshit-- the states have to ratify each and every amendment with 3/4 majority. That's 38 states, most of which are "flyover country."

To get there, most of these states have to be completely fed up with federal power to the point where it crosses party lines. Given the current teat-suckling nature of our representatives, a whole lot of things have to go very bad first, or there has to be an incredibly stupid case of ovverreach.

I wouldn't hold much hope for an article 5 convention most people these days even the elite have little to no critical thinking skills to fix all that was broken in the last 100+ years. Easier just to roll back to the Articles of Confederation, if not for the criminal elite

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Constitution.  It was contrived by a group of men who were much smarter than the average citizen.  They understood the danger of mob rule and the consequences of a dictatorship by the majority.  What they did not foresee was the rise of tag team political parties, bureaucratic over reach and the legal contrivance that corporations which are immortal are somehow people.

 

 

Open a constitutional convention and the insiders will replace it with something horrific.

Th constitution established a system of governance. Automatic evil.

Besides, read your history. Those who drafted the constituation envisioned and created a society in which the only enpowered people were wealthy white male landowners.... most others were no better off and often worse than under british rule. The US was an oligarchy right from the word go. Don't believe the propaganda.

"To get there, most of these states have to be completely fed up with federal power to the point where it crosses party lines. Given the current teat-suckling nature of our representatives"

Unfortunately about 80% of the US population is dependant on the federal gov't (Retirement (present or future), Jobs (gov't, contractor) or weath fare). The Independant american people has gone extinct, wiped out by FSA, gov't regulation and taxation. It will go to 100% dependancy once Single Payer healthcare is enacted. No matter which candidate wins (Hitlary, Colonel Sanders, or Trumped), we get a single payer system since all three of them support it. So no chance the Fed Gov't is going away until it completely collapses.

If the courts did their jobs we wouldn't have most of the federal gubmint.  These current courts will put people in jail for wanting the gubmint to abide by the Constitution.  Courts are now mostly political (leftist) bodies.

If this were to pass, no courts would ever find any law unconstitutional. The courts are owned, like Congress and the executive. No judge would dare send a President or Senator to prison; everything would get passed. Not sure this is ideal reform.

The ONE mistake in the Constitution: prohibiting FOREVER private central banks and the printing of "money" as debt at interest by ANYONE but the federal government

Wed, 01/06/2016 - 20:06 | 7007806 gcjohns1971

Article 1 section 8:

"To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the
Standard of Weights and Measures;

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin
of the United States;"

Article 1 section 10:

"Section 10
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters
of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but
gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder,
ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any
Title of Nobility."

 

It wasn't a mistake.   You just have to know how the Constitution was written.  

It was written with EXPLICITLY GRANTED POWERS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT with all not-explicitly granted powers forbidden.   It was written with only EXPLICIT PROHIBITIONS TO THE STATES, with all actions not explicitly forbidden being acceptable.

All powers not explicitly granted were understood to be reserved to the states.

The State Ratification Conventions, however, did not think that the explicit grant of powers was sufficient to communicate the idea that no other powers were given to the US Government.   So they REFUSED RATIFICATION until additional protections were added, including the 10th Amendments which says:

"Amendment 10
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to
the people."

 

So...no one gave the authority to form a private Central bank.  It is explicitly forbidden because it was not explicitly granted.

No one gave the authority to delegate the coining of money (or bills of credit) to that private bank.  The power of delegating Constitutional powers was not given to the new government, and hence was understood as forbidden.

 

The problem is that progressives have spent the last 100 years establishing government owned-and-directed mandatory schooling whose primary purpose is to teach you not to read it for yourself, or understand the plain language in it...but to believe whatever BS they tell you about it...as though it were a Latin Bible.

During Lincoln's time without a central bank:

 The pragmatic mood in Washington was that a constitution is nice to have in times of peace, but an unaffordable luxury in war. Salmon P. Chase, for example, as Secretary of the Treasury, strongly endorsed the greenbacks which were issued under his direction. They were, in his words, an "indispensable necessity." Eight years later, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, he declared that they were unconstitutional. Had he changed his mind? Not at all. When he endorsed them, the nation was at war. When he declared them unconstitutional, it was at peace. It was merely another example of the universal trait of all governments in time of war. That trait was presented in a previous section as the premise of the Rothschild Formula: "The sanctity of its laws, the prosperity of its citizens, and the solvency of its treasury will be quickly sacrificed by any government in its primal act of self-survival."

 

Finally, the answer to the question, "why are we always at war".  The fed and their politician employees can ignore the constitution in times of war...i.e. the current WAR on Terror!!
