The Constitution became a joke a long time ago, finally put to rest by the election of Abraham Lincoln. Why do people think it's still actually a legal reality? It's all determined by politically appointed 'Judges', has been for a long time. Americans like corruption, they in fact insist on it, and you think 'Article V' means something to these voters?
And 'Natural Law'??? lol that meme never had a chance; it's as fictional as Popeye. 'Social Darwinism' is the ideology one tries to avoid by rambling on about 'Natural Law'.
Your only chance is to fall back on that minority of Christians; the traditionalists are your only hope, not your fellow sociopaths. Start with culture first; get that back, then worry about regaining a genuine legal system.
It's the activists judges who think that they can make the laws that needs correction. This was stared in the 1970's with the social Dem's of the party.
As for President Lincoln on the suspension habeas corpus, it was because there was violence and
Mob attacks of Confederate sympathizers.
Lincoln had to travel in disguise.
Lincoln had the right under Article I Section 9 to do what he did.
