Because the new convention will lose the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendment at the least. We have already virtually lost the 9th and 10th years ago. You will never get the kinds of numbers needed to pass anything of consequence. You won't like the result. Why not convene some sort of tribunal to impeach a majority of the creeps that refuse to follow what is written now? We need a purge of about half the judges and 3/4 of the legislators.

Does anyone believe we will ever get rid of Harry Reid, or Pelosi? San Fran loves her.

The only ways I know of of doing these things involves blood. Having a large argument for years won't fix a thing, IMO.

I should make plain that in an Article 5 Convention, any amendments will be discussed. That means the other 10 can be amended. That would include changing them into something unrecognizable or zeroing them out. Just as in the 2nd Amendment, just modify it to define the militia at the Nat Guard. The first Amendment could be modified with the term "hate" speech. Of course who determines what is hate?

I'm just saying this is a can of worms that would probably end up in a way we weren't expecting. You have to remember, IMO, we are NOT in the majority anymore, and I certainly doubt we could get a 2/3 or 3/4 vote on any subject now. Over 80% of Americans claim to be Christians, yet we have open homosexuality, Abortion, Bible bans, no prayer, ect. The caliber of "citizen"( I use that loosely), has no clue about human nature and have NO wisdom. The beauty of our Founders was they understood completely what it would take for freedom to reign. We have lost that. today.

PLEASE go and research this topic.

WE ARE SMARTER THAN THIS, FREEPERS. We have a reputation for knowing the issues. This thread is getting embarrassing.

No offense intended to you, Chuckles. But folks are spouting about things they apparently think they understand based on what they learned in 4th grade.
