Alas, ALEC continues its war on the U.S. Constitution.
Last month's diary discussed ALEC's efforts to rewrite the Tenth Amendment and return us to governance by the Articles of Confederation (States' Rights My @$$!). ALEC again strikes at the heart of the Constitution, this time through Article V. The organization has proposed no fewer than three separate resolutions to subvert the means by which the Constitution is amended. In mapping out its attack, ALEC has even published a manual!
The ALEC resolutions are a threat to our democracy because they presuppose that the States (rather than "We The People") are charged with proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Follow me below the fleur-de-Kos for a detailed recon of the ALEC battlefield.
