This is great news. Ken Clark is a completely partisan propagandist. He inflamed and helped prolong the Outhouse nonsense; he spread lies about what Initiative20 (Colorado Care) will do; he is on the board of directors of Advancing Colorado, but "reviewed" it on Facebook.
He tried hard to incite a gate-crashing of Wild Earth Guardian's party in Colorado, and deliberately spread lies about how environmental regulations would create a disaster for coal jobs in Colorado, and he helped incite a boycott of New Belgium beer based on their past minimal funding of Wild Earth Guardians.
This is all aside from his secessionist leanings with the posse-comitatus-modeled "convention of states", which I guess will be his next gig.
Don't let the door hit ya on the way out, Ken.
That convention of states to restrict the federal government sounds like a great way to occupy him and his fellow nutbags with busy work for quite some time. Wake me when they succeed. zzzzzzzzzzz….
It's not impossible, especially if we lose the White House in 2016. The more belligerent Conventionists would like a ruling saying that any call for a convention, regardless of date or reason, would count toward the 2/3 state requirement forcing Congress to call a Convention. That could happen if a sympathetic President is installed and appoints sympathetic SCOTUS justices.
On a more conventional track, some are trying to focus on the balanced budget route. There are already – according to a group called the Balanced Budget Amendment Task Force – 27 petitions to Congress to force a Convention on the issue. They need 7 more, and have 10 states controlled by Republicans that might be convinced to do it (as of early April, 2015).
Once a Convention is called, it's uncertain what comes next. We've never tried it. The Convention itself is tasked with coming up with Amendments, and aside from issuing the call to Convention, it's unclear if Congress has any say in just what happens. The Convention could issue amendments calling for a universal right to health care, or mandatory education minimums, or data privacy amendments, or public lands "liberation", or abolishing the government's authority to tax.
… and take Moderatus with you?
