Mark Levin's The Liberty Amendments

Those longing for a way to reverse the "disturbing and seemingly unstoppable coalescence of both major parties into an amalgamation of autocrats, ambitious to maintain their own power and anxious to relieve us of our property and liberty" should look to Mark Levin's latest book, The Liberty Amendments,  suggests Dave Clark at ricochet.com.

Having studied the text of the Constitution, along with the background and even the correspondence of the Framers, Mark Levin has offered a provocative and compelling alternative that deserves a careful reading and consideration.

Where Barack Obama sought to "fundamentally transform" America into something the Founders risked everything to escape, Mark Levin seeks nothing less (or more) than the fundamental restoration of a great republic.  From term limits on Congress and the Supreme Court to an amendment to limit the growth and reach of the administrative branch of government (which issued some 3,000 new regulations just last year), and an amendment to allow states to directly amend the Constitution, Levin proposes a total of eleven amendments geared toward reining in a runaway bureaucracy that has become unmoored from its constitutional foundation and openly mocks citizens with the temerity to challenge its incursions into their private lives.

Noting that his proposed amendments are by no means chiseled in stone, Levin was careful to make two important observations last night.  First, his immediate goal is to start a grass roots conversation among the good people of this country that could spread to the state legislatures themselves, gaining momentum as citizens again realize that the country belongs to them, not to state functionaries.  Second, while conservatives are perfectly capable of working at the federal level, which is to say electing the most conservative candidates possible to federal office, they would be well advised to simultaneously pursue the method that the Framers provided in Article V of the Constitution to address a ruling class that consistently and arrogantly governs against the will of the people.

Mark Levin Explains "The Liberty Amendments"

From PJTV:  

The Great One, Mark Levin, sits with Glenn Reynolds to discuss his new book The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic.  Levin thinks that progressivism has intentionally undermined the U.S. Constitution. Is it time for an Article V convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution? Hear what the Great One thinks.

Levin: A Post-Constitutional America

Radio personality Mark Levin tells Sean Hannity, "we are living in a post-constitutional America."

Much of what goes on in the federal government has no constitutional basis whatsoever. This was part of a scheme, real scheme hatched by a number of leftists about a century ago. And you know them. Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson didn't make any bones about his contempt for the declaration and individualism and that's what this is, an attack on the individual. He made no bones about his contempt for the Constitution. Woodrow Wilson said in a speech before he became president that the government is like a body, you can't have one organ working against the other. In other words, you can't have separation of powers. So he spent his presidency, as did subsequent Democrats, trying to evade the Constitution or rewrite it.

FDR, of course, did the same thing. FDR attacked the Constitution. And Cass Sunstein, who now works for Obama, he made the point that we now live under FDR's Constitution. You know what that means? A powerful centralized government, exactly what the framers of the Constitution rejected.

"'Ameritopia' is here," Levin warns. "The question is how far are we going to go with this?" He ends the book with a question: "So my fellow countrymen, what do you choose, Ameritopia or America?"

The book is Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America.
