Correct, Pope Calvin. Does anyone think that any such conventions would be conducted according to rules? The left would show up and psychologically push the Rs into “compromises”. And there would be violence to make sure that the left gets at least part of its way and that everything looks chaotic. If the left loses on anything, they would claim that the Rs “suppressed” votes or somehow “cheated when, in fact, it is always the left that lies, cheats, steals, and assaults. The whole scene would look like a football game in which the Seahawks are playing some girls field hockey team. Apart from that, Levin’s proposals ratify the administrative state, thereby making something evil and unconstitutional constitutional. And who would the R or conservative delegates be? The kind of semi-socialists you find in the RINO party and here?

What part of 3/4s of all states must still ratify any amendments do you not understand? The left can't just re-write the bill of rights.

I am not confident you are familiar with the process based on your posts. While I agree an intense PR battle would take place in a Convention of the States, the drivers would be the state Governors, not federal reps and Senators.

I do not imagine there is any other civil course of action to get this country going back in the right direction. If they screw it up and we need another civil war, so be it. But, for the sake of my children, and the future of this nation that I love, I would get VERY active in the pursuit. I expect a great many other (normally quiet conservatives) would as well.

Oh, I see. We should do NOTHING because the left will blow a gasket.

When do they NOT blow a gasket? Bad logic there.
