Other than the demographic long march, I don't see any other way to fix this. The GOP is controlled by corporate interests that will not fight for social issues and they refuse to recognize the damage that these issues cause the country and the threat to religious freedoms they represent. This is mostly due to those same politicians being philanderers, switch hitters and fellatio experts their own selves.

Why do I find libertarianism matched with blind obedience to a sky fairy a bit weird?

Now more than ever we cannot allow Hillary Clinton to become president in 2017. She will have the opportunity to appoint three more wacko liberals for the court .

What seats do you seeing opening up in the next term?

Ginsburg is the only one I see as likely.

Todays SCOTUS ruling is merely the latest in a long series of outrages.

We have had the SCOTUS not only redefine what marriage is, all by their lonesome and in complete disregard for the literal reading of the Constitution's 10th Amendment, but also we have seen bad rulings on law and bad law that need to be reversed and only an Article V Convention will be able to go over the heads of the SCOTUS and redress these acts of insanity, perversion and degeneration.

1. We need a Balanced Budget Amendment. Just about every state has one and the federal governments $17 TRILLION deficit proves it is unable to restrain itself from spending at all.

2. We need term limits. We need to get rid of a professional political class and return the federal government back tot he control of the people and out of the control of professional pols and lawyers.

3. We need to purge for-profit corporate money from our system and break the corporate oligarchies power over the federal government and our nation.

4. We need a pro-life amendment. We need to stop the travesty and evil of the murder of unborn babies.

5. We need to pass an amendment that will give reaffirmation in plain modern language that the 2nd Amendment and gun rights are not to be infringed in anyway for law abiding people.

6. We need to protect private property from government seizure without a conviction in trial first.

7. We need an amendment to clearly state that the government cannot stop and search a person without due cause.

8. We need to extend the protections of old fashioned criminal due process to regulatory law as well. Government bureaucracies can fine, imprison and confiscate the belongings of American citizens without any of the Bill of Rights protections. This must be fixed to protect our freedoms.

9. We need an amendment to limit the breadth and scope of presidential Executive Orders.

10. We need to clarify that the First Amendment protects the free speech rights of government employees and officials and such activity does not constitute a violation of the separation clause, in fact it is the primary purpose of the 1st Amendment. Spell it out clearly and roll back 90% of libtard excesses.

11. Reform the tax code and remove it from the ability of Congress to manipulate it. Put in place a flat tax of 15% for every dollar earned over the poverty line. Abolish all corporate tax deductions except for the deduction of all American salaries paid out.

12. mandate that no laws can exempt the federal government at any level, branch or twig of government to include the courts, Congress and executive staff.

13. We need an amendment that specifies that no treaty we sign can ever be interpreted or conveyed to mean that the sovereignty of the USA is in any way compromised or subordinate to any international organization of any kind like the Vatican or the UN. Fast tracking legislation needs to have restrictions so that the full Senate gets an up or down vote on every treaty, and prior to that vote the full text of the treaty must be made open to the public for 10ays.


We have been sitting on our asses and letting the chattering classes steal our freedoms and rights mostly to benefit international corporations and Wall Street banks. If we do not take action soon we will lose the freedom our prior generations of heroic American citizens soldiers passed down to us.

Let us make good on our loyalty oaths to the US flag and the Republic by putting these bastards back in the place - the bottom of the political order.

Get this man a Con-federate flag crying towel stat!

Staphanie is hysterical

As to the convention, we needed one right after that abominable Citizens United decision

I don't think the word 'hysterical' means what you think it does. She had more facts, links to facts and reason in her post than you did.

Now THAT's hysterical!

Well, you've got one vote and I've got one vote, and I suspect mine will cancel yours out.

A list of conservative leaders who have called for a convention of states for adopting amendments to the Constitution

Endorsements - Convention of States

What a wonderful list.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The great American center is afraid of nothing, certainly not the far right's silly fears. Nothing is going back to "the way it was."

Hysterical if you cant read the damned thing, lol

Sure it will. Either it does or the USA will evaporate for a while and then be over run by its enemies.

 

[PratchettFan]

The only hysterical ones in here are those all worried over this. They fought for whatever, but the rest of us is just suppose lay down now.

well this is making the rounds. so get used to it

This has been making the rounds for decades. It is nothing new. And this is the interesting thing. Every time the number of states starts to approach the magic number of 34, states drop out. The last time they got it to 32, just 2 states from a convention, and 3 states (all republican controlled) withdrew. The state legislatures don't want a convention, they want publicity.

You are goofy, Jim. No, we are not going back to the bad old days.

Yeah, because yo uare God and can decree from on high. /sarc

You still spout the same old know-it all bullshit you were spewing two years ago.

No matter how many times you stamp your foot and whine about it, there has long been a building demand for a CoS and with this SCOTUS piece of shyte ruling, I think it is going to happen, whether you elite GOP numb nuts like it or not.

There is some validity in what you say. I think the current number though is 36 but some of the petitions are decades old and about different reasons for the convention. Boehner and his staff are studying what to make of it all. We need to get more states into que and leave no room for doubts this time.

No. 2/3 of 50 is 34. You had more states in the queue. Once it became a possible outcome, they got out of the queue. It is not going to happen because, regardless of the rhetoric, the state legislatures do not want a convention.

Why? A nation's budget isn't like balancing a family checkbook.

2. We need term limits. We need to get rid of a professional political class and return the federal government back tot he control of the people and out of the control of professional pols and lawyers.

That would be up to the states. If you put it into the Constitution it would certainly trespass on state's rights.

3. We need to purge for-profit corporate money from our system and break the corporate oligarchies power over the federal government and our nation.

That would be nice - add to that any special interest moneys - return local elections to the locals.

4. We need a pro-life amendment. We need to stop the travesty and evil of the murder of unborn babies.

No we don't. That would open up a can of worms. Who's life has precedence...the mother....the fetus? What would such an amendment look like?

5. We need to pass an amendment that will give reaffirmation in plain modern language that the 2nd Amendment and gun rights are not to be infringed in anyway for law abiding people.

NO RIGHT is unlimited. Why should gun rights be given greater protections than other rights?

.....10. We need to clarify that the First Amendment protects the free speech rights of government employees and officials and such activity does not constitute a violation of the separation clause, in fact it is the primary purpose of the 1st Amendment. Spell it out clearly and roll back 90% of libtard excesses.

Why? They are employees.

11. Reform the tax code and remove it from the ability of Congress to manipulate it. Put in place a flat tax of 15% for every dollar earned over the poverty line. Abolish all corporate tax deductions except for the deduction of all American salaries paid out.

Fuck no. That would raise my taxes and I would paying a higher proportion of my income than the top 1% who wouldn't even notice that 15%.[/quote]

Scalia is wrong on this one. Marriage has been labeled a "fundamental right". You don't leave fundamental rights up to the whims of popular opinion.

Correct.

Scalia is indeed wrong.

Fundamental rights are not subject to 'popular vote,' one's civil rights are not subject to 'majority rule,' and those protected liberties are immune from government attack.

We are a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy, where citizens are subject solely to the rule of law.
