James Dobson: Time to rise up against Deep State
Bob Unruh
James Dobson, a counselor to five presidents, author of dozens of books, founder of both Family Talk and the James Dobson Family Institute and member of the National Radio Hall of Fame, is urging Americans to do their duty, rise up and confront the “deep state” in Washington.
He describes the problem without using the term “deep state.” He speaks instead of “unelected bureaucrats” and “activist judges” who are widely considered to be the core of the problem.
And he explains the nation’s Founders provided the answer, in Article V of the Constitution, where allows for a Convention of the States.
It’s the alternative to proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution that must be ratified by two-thirds of the states.
In a statement released Monday by the James Dobson Family Institute with Tim Clinton and Jenna Ellis, Dobson says: “Unfortunately, an insidious power grab has been underway in our nation’s capital for many years and it has inflicted great damage upon our constitutional republic. Unelected bureaucrats, activist judges, and the ever-expanding scope, reach and invasion of the federal government into the lives of all Americans has far surpassed what our Founders ever intended.”
Clinton, the institute’s executive director and co-host of Family Talk, is a licensed counselor who has authored or edited nearly 30 books. Ellis, director of the Dobson Policy Center, is a constitutional law attorney and a contributor to the Washington Examiner, Daily Wire and the Federalist.
“Thankfully the drafters of our Constitution built in safeguards to restore the size of government to its proper limits through amendments as outlined in Article V of the U.S. Constitution,” the statement says.
“Of the two paths an amendment can travel, all 27 have thus far been initiated in Congress. A Convention of States is the second path, which doesn’t allow a rewriting of the Constitution as some have suggested, but rather allows the state legislatures to propose needed amendments to restrain the federal government when Congress fails to act.”
