I recently saw a commercial with tennis star Serena Williams as Wonder Woman. She was in a mall where the people were being attacked by mechanized mobile tennis ball shooting machines. She ended up returning one of the balls shot from the machine right back into the machine, destroying it and ending the threat. This is how we need to think about life right now.
Not to trivialize CRT, the erosion of the first amendment, the assaults on the Second Amendment, election integrity or any of hundreds of other things–but they are only tennis balls being shot from the tennis ball machine that is our federal government.
We need to return (seek and destroy) these ‘tennis balls’ like CRT. They are essential battles. But without addressing the sources of these ‘tennis balls’ we will be resigned to ‘returning’ each and every one of them until we ultimately miss one; then it’s game over. We will become the newest Communist regime and the light of freedom will be forever extinguished from the face of the Earth.
We need to be like Williams and destroy the tennis ball machine that keeps shooting out it’s deadly objects.
But how can we do this? Simple. The Constitution provides us with the powerful weapon we can use to limit the power of the federal government (destroy the tennis ball machine).
It is the second option of Article V, and with it we have the power to bypass the machine to get (propose and the states ratify) the amendments necessary to restrain (destroy) the machine. The machine being our federal government.
If we don’t use the Convention of States now will a ‘tennis ball’ get by us and the game will be over? It may very well be too late by then.
If not now, when? If not you, who?
