The ship of state is sinking, but Daniel Horowitz has a plan to counter the Biden
Administration’s ongoing power grabs. His outline is at Conservative
Review, and here’s his rationale:
. . .If Biden’s speech [the demonic one
in Philadelphia] is really to be a turning point in this one-sided cold war
that is heating up, conservatives should resolve to use the power they already wield
over Republican governors and demand united action for states to protect
constitutional rights from this thuggish Biden administration and national
security deep state apparatus that threatens our liberties more than any
foreign enemy in our history. Rather than making idle promises of winning back
the House with RINOs or winning back the presidency years from now when it’s
too late, we should be demanding action now from 20 or so GOP
trifecta-controlled state governments. If they fail to take action now, then
the entire point of federal elections with divided government is moot.
What would a coalition of
federalism look like? A group of prominent governors, attorneys general, and
state legislative speakers and majority leaders would initiate a declaration in
one state – let’s call it the “Miami Declaration,” for example. The declaration
would lay out a list of grievances and examples of the federal government
violating the rights of the individual: from medical freedom and bodily
autonomy to privacy infringement, collusion with big tech against First
Amendment rights, and using federal agencies to persecute political opponents.
The declaration would pronounce these states to be constitutional sanctuaries
that protect all constitutional rights, including against the federal
government. . . .
And in closing:
From now until the election,
Republicans will seek to distract us with flaccid promises of deliverance in
the future. The best way to verify their sincerity is by demanding that they
actually use the power they currently hold to counter deeply destructive and
unpopular policies from this regime.
The full column is here, and it includes specific
suggestions on provisions and recourses that could be in a Declaration.
As an Ohio voter, I have to wonder if Gov DeWine et al have the backbone and motivation
to sign on to such a Declaration. So many in the GOPe are Uniparty. Still, if you think Mr. Horowitz’s plan could
be viable, please share the link with family and friends.
