Excerpt: ... the idea that a Constitutional amendment could be enacted to limit the sovereignty of the people by preventing alcohol consumption. Carry (or Carrie) Nation was a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Movement and began to campaign in earnest against alcohol in the early 1900s. Her campaign for prohibition took place largely in the state of Kansas, where her primary goal was the enforcement of Kansas's ban on the sales of liquor. Initially, she employed simple protests and serenaded saloon patrons with hymns, labeling them "destroyers of men's souls." Claiming divine inspiration, Nation's methods eventually escalated to raiding saloons in Kansas first with rocks, and then hatchets, using the weapons to smash bar fixtures and the establishments' stocks of liquor. As a large woman (6 feet tall, 175 lbs.), she was difficult to stop and would sometimes descend on saloons accompanied by other women, who would all sing hymns together during what came to be called "hatchetations". Nation was arrested 30 times a ...

Excerpt: ... Advocates Of States' Rights Meet Jerry Spangler The Deseret News. Salt Lake City, Utah: October 22, 1995. pg. A.1 Copyright The Deseret News October 22, 1995 At first, the proposed Conference of the States seemed to most political scientists and state government leaders to be a brilliant approach to restoring the imbalance of power between the states and federal government. Each state would appoint official delegations to a conference, to be held appropriately in Philadelphia, that would air grievances against the federal government and then petition Congress in a unified voice to restore the balance of power. The purpose of the petition was a not-so-veiled threat that the states had the political muscle to force a constitutional amendment , if necessary. But vitriolic opposition from the political right, which argued the conference could evolve into a much-feared Constitutional Convention, has since put conference proponents on the defensive. And to the chagrin of Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, it diverted attention ...

Excerpt: ... at will extend the powers of law enforcement agencies, to enter homes, search for suspected evidence, plant surveillance devices, and to exit without notifying the targets. More liberal wiretap laws would also allow agents to monitor multiple devices and at different locations. The "feds" have lobbied for such legislation in the past, notes Bartlett, hoping to tighten their enforcement of drug codes and extend their investigations, but the American Civil Liberties Union has been successful each time in quashing such attempts. Now, in the aftermath of September 11th terrorist attacks, Bartlett suggests that Congress is likely to be more receptive. Such legislation will assuredly end up before the Supreme Court and could be found unconstitutional. Should the Supreme Court rule against such new laws, the American people should consider a Constitutional amendment . The federal government must loosen restrictions on "search and seizure" laws in order to allow authorities to pursue suspected terrorists in the Unit ...

Excerpt: ... ddition to controlling the nomination, jurisdiction, and size of the judiciary, the elected branches can counter Supreme Court decisions with laws or even constitutional amendment s. Finally, the Court relies heavily on other branches to help define its agenda and enforce its decisions. However, when power in these other branches is divided across parties (as has increasingly been the case in recent decades), this division can produce severe partisan conflict over the judiciary's agenda and membership. These conflicts have been particularly evident in the recent strategic wrangling between the president and the opposing Senate majority over a variety of nominees. ...
