>Give state officials the power to sue in federal court when federal officials overstep their bound
ah yesss

Article 5
More power to the states. Less to the fed. End the corruption, reclaim their power.

I feel like this could have unintended consequences somehow and would require some refinement to address that but I support it in principle, for sure, especially the being able to overrule the supreme court part, and the states can overrule a federal law part with 2/3ds.

It's a trojan. If they can successfully get a Constitutional Convention convened, 2A repeal will be proposed. Then there will be more happenings to scare people into supporting repeal.

These actually seem breddy gud

It doesn't matter. Super Majority of the states have to agree before the convention on what to vote. Rogue convention is not possible.

>>Require Congress to balance its budget.

How to destroy an entire country in one amendment, the amendment.

>>Restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments by limiting the former to the powers expressly delegated to it in the Constitution.

Too bad virtually everything somehow involves interstate commerce.

Sounds sweet

>all that bullshit about federal agencies

Sounds like a great way to destroy the economy. American businesses benefit greatly from administrative agencies. Just because you are too stupid to understand how they work does not mean that they are bad,

We tried that and we ended up fighting a war over it because the south wanted to ruin northern industry over muh cotton. Never again.

They already can override the supreme court, it's called a constitutional amendment. It already requires 2/3rds of states.

That's why slavery isn't a thing anymore. Supreme Court said it was fine.

What the fuck is the point? The government doesn't give a shit about what is written in the Constitution. Just shit on it and throw it out with the trash where it belongs.

What's the matter with balancing the budget? It doesn't require eliminating the national debt.

Completely repeal the interstate commerce clause. It didn't always exist you know

Just secede already you complete morons

>the south wanted to ruin northern industry over muh cotton

Fucking lol what. I think you mean

>the north wanted to ruin the southern economy because muh niggers

>the civil war was about slavery

Please educate yourself.

Based

That's fucking stupid, user.

I didn't read much of this but this is what I've been wanting for years
Fuck the fed, give the states more rights. That's why its the United STATES of America, not a homogenous blob of shit. Don't like a state's laws? Welcome to move

Because if the country goes into a recession, then that means there is less tax money, and a balanced budget amendment means we need to then cut spending during a recession.

Basically, imagine if another financial crisis happened, and the government had to go "Sorry guys, we ran out of money. We need to cut your unemployment and social security benefits because too many people lost their job"

It turns a minor recession into the worst depression of all time.

>How to destroy an entire country in one amendment, the amendment.

Bullshit.

There is ZERO need to overspend in times of peace. Period.

Holy shit, based Texas. States rights may come back.

my deja vu is peaking right now over the last five minutes

>>Restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments by limiting the former to the powers expressly delegated to it in the Constitution.

This one is interesting. I thought this was suppose to already be a thing. What happened?

this is the oldest news gov.texas.gov/news/press-release/21829

Ensure the race to the bottom by not having one law for all...

Take a civics class....Just one....

Nullification Crisis Two: Electric Boogaloo?

>We will never have a constitution as good as the American one

Fuck I'm ready to fucking end my existence at this point

>They were right about everything.

you forgot Jefferson

>Too bad virtually everything somehow involves interstate commerce.
Only through a ridiculous expanded view that by the same logic could make everything international commerce. Interstate commerce should be limited to the exchange of individual products across state lines not the economic consequences of the sale of a product or it's materials of manufacture.

and so #texit begins

>federal unemployment benefits
>federal social security benefits

I read this as patch notes and was slightly upset when I realized it would never go live.

NEED STICKY
WEW

Too bad. That's how it has to be. Federal regulation is preferable to state regulation. States can be easily swayed by interest groups and local politics, which in turn can result in a regulatory atmosphere that is extremely hostile to business interests.

THAT ISN'T HOW THE CONVENTION WORKS YOU FUCKING IGNORANT CHILD

>uphold the constitution

>propose amendments

FUCKING WHICH IS IT?

tl;dr

FUCK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

FUCKING BLOATED, CORRUPT, PIECES OF SHIT

None of shit is going to happen.

Kek sees all

Even if it did, the Supreme Court would make it irrelevant.

congress has the power to dismiss any court in the country

>Localize the government.

1488
STOP GIVING OUR MONEY TO WORTHLESS KIKES WHO LITERALLY ARE TRING TO EXTERMINATE AND REPLACE THE WHITE MAN WITH 3RD WORLD NIGGERS ARABS AND BEANERS

Spread this around, this is good news that could gain a lot of traction.

Stopped reading right there.

That just tells me he is not serious - it is all for show.

I want to prohibit any slander or misinformation on the first ten amendments, to include the disbarment of lawyers or law professors who push along the lines of Obama, Kerkove or that one legal scholar who is wrongly respected but who attacks the Constitution whenever he can, and was recently quoted here.

But they never do. Funny how that works...

>Congress
>power
ha, good luck getting them to use any of it

I don't like the seven justice super majority one.
If a law is found unconstitutional, whether it was democratically enacted or not, it's still unconstitutional and therefore void.
Same with the 2/3 state majority. Constitution says the SCOTUS has all judicial power.
And requiring congress to have a balanced budget wont ever get passed.
The rest sound great though

Yeah you cucks are right we should probably never ask them to do that for us then because they didn't do it yet without us asking

Lmao fucking carpet baggers always blame the south

Are you just picking words using magnets?
Your argument for federal over state regulation is that there is no such thing as federal lobbyists writing their own legislation?

The Constitution is not a set of statutory laws. If you want to live under an anal government like that, move to France.

>States can be easily swayed by interest groups and local politics, which in turn can result in a regulatory atmosphere that is extremely hostile to business interests.
That already happens anyway. It's entirely arbitrary when interstate commerce is applied.

Cut this shit out.
Do you see the bullshit that's going on in your precious federal government? States wear a halo after the shit the feds openly admit to on national media.
You're an ass if you believe bigger government with more power is going to be better.

>constitutional crisis
>FBI user was right all along

god damn it

Do we finally get to stop people who spread misinformation that the second amendment is meant to allow people to fight the government?

papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1465114

It was about protecting slavery and preventing the feds from making slave catching militias illegal.

I am amazed how many people fall for the "last resort against tyranny" meme. Treason is the only crime in the constitution, why would they go and tell you to commit treason?

>why would they go and tell you to commit treason?
Because it's not treason if the government is illegitimate due to it's non-compliance with the constitution. Jefferson was even more balls to the wall and thought it was fine to stage an occasional rebellion if you were pissed the government wasn't listening to you well enough.

>Jefferson was even more balls to the wall and thought it was fine to stage an occasional rebellion if you were pissed the government wasn't listening to you well enough.

He was also against slavery but had slaves. Jefferson was the worst founder and only morons pretend otherwise.

Oh yeah, American businesses fucking LOVE spending millions of dollars to comply with bullshit like EPA, WSA, HHS... have you ever worked in the private sector you retard?

It's okay, liberals don't understand the difference either

What a great set of amendments. They totally won't cripple the federal government and render the US a dead political entity. You should give them a common name. Something like "Articles of Confederation" or something. :^)

go back /r/eddit, the government shouldnt be spending like that and on those specific things

You have to go back.

If your economy is dependent on shit agencies that waste 90% of their funds on shit then you dont have an economy

Fuck you

If there's anything to take from this, it's that Texas doesn't want to be cucked by the left agenda that's unfortunately claiming a lot of the northern states. With how more government regulated laws are becoming, this was only a matter of time.

>any protection of states = articles of confederation

States have been forced to crawl through the mud, and were supposed to be protected from what the Government is doing now. This is merely protection against a totalitarian central Government.

Fucking shills.

That wasn't at all related to the intent of the second amendment but thanks for taking this opportunity to take a stab at Jefferson.

>Calling a constitutional convention during a Democrat administration

>We need to cut your benefits
> cut your federal benefits
>cut federal benefits
Anyone else like to point out the problem here? I can't find it.

Democracy

>not one stipulation addressing term limits or pay
Career politicians breed corruption. No one should have "politician" as their longest held job.

States are no longer a political independent entity. States obey the Federal government and act as a subdivision of it. Don't like it? Then take it up with Lincoln, he's the one who ended any and all dispute on the issue.

There is no Union of States, there is only the United States.

You either have elected politicians or you have unelected patrons and lobbyists who basically run things. So unless you want Soros to have even more say in how things are run I think you should just accept the way things are.

>>Prohibit Congress from regulating activity that occurs wholly within one State.
No.
>>Require Congress to balance its budget.
Dumb.
>>Prohibit administrative agencies—and the unelected bureaucrats that staff them—from creating federal law.
>>Prohibit administrative agencies—and the unelected bureaucrats that staff them—from preempting state law.
Need more detail.
>>Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a U.S. Supreme Court decision.
No.
>>Require a seven-justice super-majority vote for U.S. Supreme Court decisions that invalidate a democratically enacted law.
Stop trying to mess with the supreme court.
>>Restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments by limiting the former to the powers expressly delegated to it in the Constitution.
Yes.
>>Give state officials the power to sue in federal court when federal officials overstep their bounds.
Absolutely.
>>Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a federal law or regulation.
Never.

Who?

Too bad it has no chance

jesus christ some actually not retarded sarah palin tier americans exist

usually you guys just froth at the mouth with joy anytime a politician says 'constitution'

NOT

This is what the civil war was fought over. The feds won and will never allow such things to happen

>

Most politicians only vote a certain way because if they don't it kills their career. Remove the ability for it to be a career and you remove the fear of voting for the right thing from representatives. Soros can't do shit to people if he can only fuck with 4/6/8 years of their lives at most. Corruption shows up when someone's livelihood is at stake.

States Rights time? ebin

110% correct, dont let the jew shills tell you otherwise

>Prohibit Congress from regulating activity that occurs wholly within one State

Except they already cannot do this, nor do they.

>Require Congress to balance its budget.

This is retarded. The US makes a fuck ton of money on the sale of its debt. It looks bad on paper, but inflation wipes it out over time.

>Prohibit administrative agencies—and the unelected bureaucrats that staff them—from creating federal law.

They can't do this. They enforce existing laws.

>Prohibit administrative agencies—and the unelected bureaucrats that staff them—from preempting state law.

Supremacy clause. Gotta repeal that first.

>Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Its called amending the Constitution. You don't need another amendment to say you can amend it.

>Require a seven-justice super-majority vote for U.S. Supreme Court decisions that invalidate a democratically enacted law.

Fuck no.

>Restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments by limiting the former to the powers expressly delegated to it in the Constitution.

This does not mean what you think it does. The Federal Government only acts within its given powers, as they are interpreted. If you don't agree with the interpretation, change the constitution. This amendment is on its face useless, and is as stupid as the amendment that gives the states power to amend the constitution on top of their existing amendment power.

>Give state officials the power to sue in federal court when federal officials overstep their bounds.

They already have this power.

>Allow a two-thirds majority of the States to override a federal law or regulation.

Again, its called amending the constitution.

Seriously, what is this faggotry?

...

>t.bootlicker

>Corruption shows up when someone's livelihood is at stake.
They still have incentive to vote in a way that's favorable to potential future employers. You could basically spend 4 years voting in a way that's great for some corporation of your choosing and then leave and get a spot as a VP there in exchange for your years of service to them.

He's trying to stop his people from trying to go for secession

No, America cannot allow this. It will inevitably mean dissolution. The differences will grow tremendously if they reintroduce it. The government doesn't care about anything but maintaining its control.

>t. secessionist scum

Have YOU ever worked for a company that made more than $1 million in revenue? Seriously if it gets too complicated (it hardly ever is) you can pay a lawyer to help you out. It's not that fucking difficult.

No mention of repealing the 16th amendment?

Weak.

>people who want to work within the system against corruption are secessionists
Wow really makes you think

>people who think nuking the system will stop corruption instead of just lead way for another system of corruption

Hes about to have a mysterious heart attack, famalam.

well he was already "mysteriously" crippled so I think he be ready.
