Mark Levin: The Constitution’s Article 5 and “Liberty Amendments” Could Save Our Republic
We’re at a crossroads in America, an intersection that Progressives from both parties have willfully driven us to. We’re standing at the precipice where one more push will send us cartwheeling over the edge into Socialist oblivion. We are losing our fragile Republic; we are losing our liberties. And as I see it, we have two choices: Restore the Republic our founders fought and died for, or watch it perish at the hands of liberals from both parties.
If you’re anything like me, and I suspect you are, you worry every day about the state of our country, terrified that the America we grew up in is on life support. And you wonder what could possibly be done to save it. Politicians, no matter how much they try to convince us they’re all for Change We Can Believe In, will never, not ever, reform themselves. Radical as it may sound, and decidedly difficult though it may be, lawyer, author, conservative commentator, and host of his self-titled radio show, Mark Levin may have found the answer. And though I’m no Constitutional expert, I’m excited at the prospect.
The founders were brilliant, geniuses in fact, far brighter than I can ever hope to be. And I’m betting some of you reading this are already fully aware of Article 5 of our Constitution, and perhaps even Levin’s proposals. Article 5, conceivably written specifically with a Barack Obama, Progressives, and Liberals masquerading as Republicans in mind, gives state legislatures the right to amend the Constitution. That’s right, it is not only Congress that can alter our founding document. A plurality of state legislatures can do so, an invaluable tool given the tyranny we are facing today, potentially saving us from Progressive Hell.
“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”
