The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic is a book by the American talk radio host and lawyer Mark Levin, published in 2013. In it, Levin lays out and makes a case for eleven Constitutional amendments which he believes would restore the Constitution’s chief components: federalism, republicanism, and limited government.

The eleven amendments proposed by Levin:

Impose Congressional term limits
Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment, returning the election of Senators to state legislatures
Impose term limits for Supreme Court Justices and restrict judicial review
Require a balanced budget and limit federal spending and taxation
Define a deadline to file taxes (one day before the next federal election)
Subject federal departments and bureaucratic regulations to periodic reauthorization and review
Create a more specific definition of the Commerce Clause
Limit eminent domain powers
Allow states to more easily amend the Constitution by bypassing Congress
Create a process where two-thirds of the states can nullify federal laws
Require photo ID to vote and limit early voting
Levin would have these amendments proposed to the states by a convention of the states as described in Article Five of the Constitution.

This seems to be the point of Article Five - or am I missing something?

UT, NM, SD, IA, MO, AR, WV, VA, NC.

And 27 States have active legislation for this resolution in their Legislatures.

Only 3 remaining States do not have any active legislation:
WI, MT, NV.



Regarding liberal fears of this: why be so fearing of the Constitutional process? Just because Obama violated the Constitution for the last 8 years does not render the entire document invalid.

This seems rather blatantly anti- current constitution to me:

"Allow states to more easily amend the Constitution by bypassing Congress"

If you are a strict constitutionalist that should be a red flag.

The accuracy of this post only lasted about 100 minutes.
Missouri became the 12th State to pass this resolution.

Looks like it is 12 States ratified, and 9 again with passage in one Legislative Chamber, having New Hampshire joining the club.

But it seems 6 States now have no active Legislation currently - with CT, RI, MA in this group.
That leaves 23 States with active legislation in at least one Chamber.

I'm not a liberal and I don't care about Obama.

G, I'm a Democrat and a Constitutionalist (I believe in the Constitution), but I don't think you have to be either a Dem or Repub to see that this is not only unConstitutional,

As much as I am a believer in the democratic process ... there are far too many bamboozling words in these proposals, and too much trust is required. I've maintained for many years that if you can't show - SPECIFICALLY - in a step-by-step, mechanistic, cause-and effect chain - EXACTLY HOW your proposals get to the desired result - if you depend on vague words and phrases like 'freedom', 'democracy', or 'federalism', to whitewash the lack of a concrete plan - you shouldn't be going forward with your notions. /b]

The convention gets approved, the proposals at the convention get ironed out and set, then states need to ratify each proposal before enactment. Doesn't seem like much gray area.
