Let's face it. Washington can't fix itself from the top down.
It needs to be fixed from the bottom up.
An easy way to restore popular control would to call a Constitutional Convention, and propose the least controversial of all fixes --- vastly increasing the size of the House of Representatives and restoring State control over the Senate. Today we are under-represented. Approximately 1 Representative for every 700,000 citizens, as opposed to 1 per 30,000 at the founding of the United Stated.
Amendment:
There shall exist 1 Representative for every 30,000 citizens.
Amendment:
The 17th Amendment is repealed, and the original method of choosing Senators is restored.
---------------------------
With 10,000+ Representatives we could finally end the Washington gridlock, implode the 2-party tyranny and use the FEDERAL government to fix itself. Local and State control would be restored, as would Popular Sovereignty, the foundational philosophy of republican and democratic governments.
Our courts determine how we follow the Constitution to the letter.....not a bunch of posters on an internet message board
And that is stated in the constitution WHERE?? That power is granted WHERE??
It is a power the court GRABBED FOR ITSELF.... not that was constitutionally granted thru any constitutional process
Marbury vs Madison
If you disagree with the finding, the Constitution provides a methodology for you to change it
I would support a Constitutional amendment to ban all tax expenditures.
That would go a long way toward leveling the campaign election field. It would blow a big hole in the current 98 percent re-election rate of House incumbents who run for re-election.
I've long thought about a Constitutional Convention and sadly don't think it would ever work...
The United States Constitution says, "Nuh-uh!"
The British don't have a written constitution, so they can make that kind of shit up all day long.

Excuse me - but where in the constitution does it have anything to say about political campaigns and their lengths?

Just like at the founding of the country? How quaint
We have much more access to our Congressional Representatives today than we did 200 years ago. They are more answerable to "We the people" than they were at our founding
They are also much more representative of the population
No, they are not. You're either willfully stupid, or dishonest. I'm guessing both. Representation in government is a myth. You're lucky to get an area where 50% of the people are represented.
More shit shoveling from the USMB shit shoveler.
