There are several Amendments I would revoke, notably the Twelfth and Seventeenth, or revise/clarify like the Fourteenth.

And BTW, there is nothing that says that the Legislature can't ignore or override the Judiciary. All they have to do is pass a law with their desired intent. They can also impeach members of the Judiciary (Supreme Court) who exceed their authority, though it has never been done to my knowledge. What I think is a bigger problem is that many Supreme Court actions have assumed the legitimacy of a particular Legislative action when they should have turned it down for lack of jurisdiction. Every single Welfare-related policy should have been overturned in this manner.

My thought was to introduce an Amendment that required every Bill to come before Congress to have two mandatory sections: a section stating its purported Constitutional authority and a twilight provision if it necessitated funding. I would also like to have another Amendment which prevents unrelated amendments to be proposed to any legislation. A last one is an Amendment which would state that every Federal Agency's budget would have to be individually appropriated - it could not be included in a larger bill. This one would cause our current government to grind to a halt or cut out dead weight. ;)

I've thought of a couple more, but they're for another thread.

All good points - I hope you are right. But, just like all the "celebrities" who promise to leave the country if/when a Republican wins, and then don't, I suspect the California succession furor is likely not going anywhere.

I dont think the feds would allow it however, no matter what the vote was. Look what happened when the south wanted to secede. CIVIL WAR. I would move there if they did secede tho

I agree. Its done. I moved from there in 1991. I just got tired of all the regulations, governmental audits, and nazi-like collection of fines and fees.

This is like a circle game.

"The idea of where a person goes to the bathroom is of concern only for the user ,and to change the norms of a society for the benefit of .0004 % of the population is asinine. "
I never actually encounter any bigotry issues or bathroom norms issues (I can't believe that's even a thing) if I stop in Eau Claire on a trip from Madison to Minneapolis. It turns out the moral code of keeping your word, telling the truth, and minding your own business are not just rural things.

I recently drove to the South, and I didn't run into any nonsense. It clearly not the same from my home where the 0.0004% live. But it's not so different that it's problem living side-by-side and driving through.

" The farmer knows the benefit he or she receives from treating their livestock well."
Animal welfare interests do not coincide perfectly with human interests.

Perhaps, but I also have observed that many who are given the opportunity to grow their own food tend to realize what they have heretofore taken for granted. I think there is something profoundly philosophical in gardening.

Maybe we disband the federal government in its current form, and return ALL powers to the states, who can compete with each other for the best living conditions. Bad state and local governments would mean people would leave. Competition in government is a good thing, which we only have now by moving long distances to other countries.
