Issue Position: Constitutional & Judicial Reform

Issue Position

"Whether it be freedom of speech, the right to own a firearm, taking a stand on education reform or pushing the conservative agenda, you can count on me to continue to defend your Constitutional rights with the same determination I've shown for over 30 years fighting to elect conservative Republicans in Tennessee and as a member of the State Executive Committee."

You can trust Tim to fight to ensure that Tennessee is protected from a lawless, disobedient, burdensome and unconstitutional federal government. Tim will oppose Obamacare, fight Obama's attempt to take our firearms, and oppose EPA over-reach.

Out of control Federal Courts, and a corrupt, partisan U.S. Justice Department are undermining the foundations of our Judicial system. Tim will work to ensure Tennessee fights back against federal judicial overreach.

Convention of The States: I would support a "convention of the states" which would enable state legislatures to call for a national convention to pass an amendment to the U.S. constitution and bypass Congress -- only if it can be proven that such a convention can be called for a specific subject such as a "balanced budget amendment". I would not support a convention of states that opens the entire constitution up to amendments. Tennessee has already passed a resolution calling for a convention of the states. A proposed amendment by a convention would still need to be ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States) to become a part of the Constitution.
