We work toward taking our country back one step at a time. We vote for solid conservatives instead of the guy with the most money in our primaries for starters.

I think Dr. Williams and you are both terribly naïve. Saying the fault is not in our Constitution is completely beside the point.

If you are going to attempt it for the sole purpose of illustrating that we tried every avenue of rectifying a lawless and burgeoning government tyranny before we do what must be done, then I can support the effort so long as it is understood that the Beast at Mordor on the Potomac is not going to allow itself to be limited by any law or amendment. They will either find a federal judge who will strike such amendments down from being implemented as a force of law, or they will do as they do now, and just ignore them.
We are a post-constitutional Socialist mobocracy in deed and practice.
The sooner we wake up to that reality, the sooner we can begin working on true and effective ways to put government back in the cage designed for it.

I think that assuming a further amended Constitution will be any more effective than what we currently have in the currently existing environment is extremely naïve.

Like the last presidental election? Or, all the other ones before that?
Two problems with that: conservatism is not well understood or liked, and conservatives, by their nature, frequently make lousy candidates in the social/cultural environment that we now have.
