Thanks, Scott, for highlighting the shell game.
Yes, indeed, repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments. But how do we get from here to there? The state sovereignty, 10th Amendment movement. But don’t expect a walk in the park. To get their power back the states are going to have to take it. Expect some serious pushing and shoving before it’s all over.
If you are not willing to support your state in things like Nullification, and passing laws to have all withholding sent to the state treasurer, who will then pass on to the feds the amount actually commensurate with their true, enumerated powers, then quitcherbitchin. It may reach the point where the state National Guard, or a new militia created just for this purpose, has to confront the feds. If we reach this point, I expect many active duty officers and NCOs to transfer to the state militia.
Sure it sounds apocalyptic. But think it through. If there’s another route that will actually deliver what’s necessary, I haven’t found it. If we don’t restore the Constitutional balance, and rein in the activist courts, our country and Constitution will be irretrievably lost.
