The FBI has clearly shifted its mission from law enforcement to political enforcement. Only the geniuses of The View, the TDS-afflicted “journalists” of CNN, and the beneficiaries of the FBI’s legal exemption policy (the Democrats) would argue otherwise. Video of armed FBI agents raiding the home of a former president dispelled the myth of “Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity” for the rest of us.
Just ten years ago, talk of eliminating the FBI was not a subject for serious political debate. But after excusing Hillary for violation of the Espionage Act, an attempted coup, social media censorship, entrapment schemes, targeting of citizens as domestic threats, James Comey’s memory loss under oath, and Christopher Wray’s avoidance of congressional oversight, over half of Americans consider the bureau to be Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo (per Rasmussen Reports). With that level of public distrust, the need to take serious corrective action has become a legitimate subject of debate.
Imposing accountability legislatively seems like a political impossibility. In our current environment of polarization, it’s inconceivable that legislation to restrict or close a government agency could clear the hurdles of a Senate filibuster and a presidential veto. But what if congressional legislation weren’t required to give the FBI the spanking it has earned? What if it could be done without the consent of the federal government?
Convention of States Action (COSA) is a grassroots movement encouraging the states to use the second clause of Article V to impose accountability on the federal government through constitutional amendments. Notably, the second clause allows the states to amend the Constitution, with no participation from (or interference from) Congress, the Supreme Court, or the president.
In the fall of 2023, COSA held a mock convention of states. It was attended by commissioners from 49 states — who were mostly elected state legislators. The commissioners were an accurate reflection of those who would conduct an actual convention. They simulated how an actual convention of states would be conducted by developing amendment proposals, debating them, and voting on them. Had it been an actual convention of states, their approved proposals would have been sent to the states for ratification. If ratified by 38 states, the proposals would become amendments to the Constitution, immune from congressional or Supreme Court approval — since amendments are constitutional by definition.
One of the proposals approved by the simulated convention states:
