Good. Wanna kill the Constitution? Have this convention.
So Ritze’s scare tactics were successful in persuading OK representatives that a CON-CON would ‘ravage’ the Bill of Rights and especially given Soros’ billions the entire Constitution would be at risk.
Sounds like what is needed is a leader who can educate legislators to the reality that 2/3s of legislatures are required to propose an amendment and 3/4s are required to ratify a proposed amendment.
For Soros to accomplish an overthrow of the US Constitution by rewriting it he would need to buy off thousands of legislators in each state. Somehow I don’t think our United States is that far gone yet, at least not at the state levels.
You need to educate yourself about Article V Convention of the States
and not be one of those who spread disinformation.
Bump in the road to constitutional restoration, Article V Ping!
There's no doubt he's conservative.
It appears he has hitched his wagon to the dead horse of nullification. For some reason, proponents of nullification recoil from Article V and paint us as George Soros worshipers whose dark objective is to surreptitiously undermine that which no longer exists, the 1787 constitution.
If you haven't, check out the link within the column by lawyer Joe Wolverton. Among his distortions in supposed support of the Constitution, he cites a quote from the Anti-Federalist Centinel! The intent is to slam us as blind followers of Mark Levin and COS.
Wolverton is smooth and dangerous. We should follow and respond to this guy whenever possible.
COS posted a point by point refutation a few weeks ago. Good ammo for us.

Looks like he is a genuine conservative, like the members of the JBS, but really feels the Convention of the States is the wrong way to go.
I disagree with him adamantly on the Convention of the States, but appreciate his concerns.
This is why we conservatives are always at cross-ends in trying to defeat the left. They are a monolithic movement of insentient drones. We are composed of people who think and people who think will tend to disagree.
I hope and pray that Oklahoma's action can be reversed as I truly believe that only by amending some selected parts of the Constitution to address abuses the Founding Fathers could never have conceptualized, can e save our republic.
At the same time, I do not reject nullification. I feel these are both useful tools in dealing with the statists and Bolsheviks who are opposing us in the Federal Government.
I don’t see nullification resolutions alone as doing harm. Nullification is useful to the extent it expresses the will of a state.
For some reason, many who support nullification are typically against and horribly mistaken in their opposition to Article V.
Educate yourself... You sound like you are from DU...
There are GREAT resources up thread that explain it’s not a “con-con”... ANYTHING out of the COS has to be ratified by 38 states to become PART of the constitution...
When ONE Governor STOPS taking a PENNY from DC & more importantly STOPS sending taxes TO Washington AND mobilizes their States National Guard then get back to me on Nullification...
Conservatives eat their own.
*sigh*-bump
