TIME Magazine’s Abject Failure

In the July 4th edition (ironically) of TIME Magazine, Managing Editor Richard Stengel penned one of the most incompetent pieces (found here: www.time.com on the Constitution that I have ever had the displeasure to read. His mistakes ranged from basic factual errors that could have been fact-checked with an internet search, to broad and sweeping misinterpretations of entire portions of the Constitution. The video I am posting is a brief refutation of these problems. For further reading, please consult TomWoods.com, Tom Woods’s book Nullification, and Kevin C. Gutzman’s book The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution.

Is it Time for a Constitutional Convention? San Diego News Room Reports

San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) June 24, 2009

California’s list of crisis areas is growing longer: education, infrastructure, health care, prisons, water. A new budget crisis begins as soon as the last year’s ended. Many Californians believe enough is enough. Everyone agrees that our state government is broken—the overriding question seems to be, how do we fix it?

San Diego News Room covers in-depth political and governmental issues. Within hours of the failure of the May 19 special election budget measures, political pundits across the state were calling for a constitutional convention, joining others who have been working towards a convention since last August. Those familiar with California’s constitution, the state’s overused initiative process, and the almost-predictable Legislative gridlock that occurs every budget cycle assert that something needs to change, and fast. San Diego News Room asked legal experts and legislators for their perspectives on what’s broken in the state government, and how Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Legislature should go about fixing it.
