THIS is why his talk about a Constitutional Convention worries me....

I do NOT trust him.

Coburn has shown his true colors, and they are not in the Constitutional palette.

Why worry because Coburn says “Constitutional Convention”?

First, he doesn’t know the correct terminology, his town hall meeting constituent mentioned Mark Levin’s book about a convention to AMEND the Constitution according to the process laid out in the Constitution itself.

That is not a “Constitutional Convention”, it’s an “amend the Constitution convention”, two entirely different things.

Second, Coburn has absolutely nothing to say about what happens. This would be a convention of STATES and completely bypasses Washington DC/the Federal Government.

In fact, when the constituent asked Coburn for his suggestion what citizens could do to advance Levin’s cause, Coburn said, this has nothing to do with me, you need to lobby the OK state legislature to join the effort.

Coburn is talking constitutional convention. Mark Levine is not. I heard Levin say that this is not a constitutional convention he is calling for.
