Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin has a book out called "The Liberty Amendments." These amount to new amendments to the Constitution – particularly, new planks that strengthen the Bill of Rights.
Levin's suggested amendments include:
1. Term limits, including for justices.
2. Repealing Amendment 17 and returning the election of senators to state legislatures
3. A congressional supermajority to override Supreme Court decisions (overruling what could be a stacked court)
4. Spending limit based on GDP
5. Taxation capped at 15%
6. Limiting the commerce clause, and strengthening private property rights
7. Power of states to override a federal statute by a three-fifths vote.
Sounds clever to me! Levin is obviously thinking through a way to keep the separation of powers effective and limited government vital as the main operating principle of 21st century . Dozens of positive book reviews are at:
