The power behind The Red Button comes not from it being magical, but that it destroys magic. If your “fantasy-radar” alarm is shrieking loudly right now-warning you to stay away from pure fantasy and get back to reality-it is appropriate to emphasize that The Red Button is not magical, nor mere conjecture. Indeed, if the original spirit of the Constitution was simultaneously resurrected, and all members of Congress and federal officials could thereafter only exercise enumerated powers using necessary and proper means (as “necessary and proper” meant, at time of ratification), what harm could those new members of Congress who may even have radical tendencies really cause? Representative, which, of course, is what Democrats’ D.C.-Statehood movement is really all about.īut, if The Red Button would work as advertised, would this concession really be too much to ask, to immediately and permanently drain “The Swamp” and restore our American Republic as originally envisioned by the Framers of the Constitution (before the courts began steering government on a different path)?

Of course, Republicans, libertarians, and conservative independents have no desire whatsoever to help Democrats secure two perpetually-liberal U.S. We need only tie the Democrats’ D.C.-Statehood movement to a complete repeal of Article I, Section 8, Clause 17-which is the clause that allowed the creation of exclusive legislation properties such as the District of Columbia in the first place. Or, if you didn’t know whether you should really push The Red Button, would you not at least take the opportunity presented to read the available instruction manual, that told how it worked and why it would work, so you would know beforehand, that, by pushing it, you would truly be doing the right thing?Īmericans have before us the opportunity to create that seemingly-magical Red Button, simply by varying the Democrats’ current efforts on D.C.-Statehood, but doing it the right way-by pursuing a constitutional amendment. If you somehow found yourself personally standing in front of the primary control panel at some mysterious Master Command Center, that housed “The Red Button” that, when pushed, would immediately terminate all of federal overreach, forever, would you have the guts and determination to push it?
