My hunch is that if you cut the heads off of the top of the top, the rest will stumble and fall. The new law of general impeachment would prohibit anyone from holding highest office in any of the three branches who was held any such position previously, and would stand as an unequivocal mandate from the people that government will not carry on the way it has.
Life appointment for the Supreme Court is not necessary, and the Constitution has a tendency to constantly expand the voting powers of the people. But this change can wait for its own amendment later, when you have a totally new court that can be subjected to elections.

Fact is, this fits in somewhat with my idea of organizing the voting power of the people to overthrow the government.
The Second Amendment requires all citizens to be enlisted in the unorganized militia, and preserves to them the right to have guns as part of that obligation. They have garbled the meaning of the law to make it say almost the opposite, but that is what it means. The reason the citizen militia is so important is that it was considered by the makers of the Constitution as the only way to keep the power of the people in their hands if they ever needed to get rid of a tyrant.
But you can't take away the power of the people to vote the pirates out. That is one of the rights preserved to the people in the Bill of Rights.
Hey Paul, since we are doing a complete house cleaning, can we also disband the special interest groups and have public elections for the judiciary?? That will really shake things up from the ground level. Heads will roll and maybe we can bring some sanity into the mix.
