When the lawmakers condone lawbreaking. . .
When the system is not working according to the will of the people, what other options are there other than continuing to work within the system?
What did the Founders do when they determined that changes needed to be made to the Articles of Confederation? They convened a constitutional convention and wrote up a new constitution. The final result was the government under the Articles of Confederation was peacefully abolished and a new government was put in its place based on the framework of the new Constitution.
Eventually, this will have to occur in today's political climate. The states will have to convene a constitutional convention and determine what to do with the Constitution and the federal government. There is no way the U.S. Congress is going to vote in favor of convening a constitutional convention. It will have to be up to the states to vote in favor of convening a convention and selecting state delegates to the convention.
