Until the Article V pushers come up with a singular comprehensive list of what amendments they intend to offer AND GUARANTEE THAT ONLY THOSE AMENDMENTS will be addressed, I still remain skeptical.

Progressives will have their delelates present and lawyers will be lined up from Sacramento to DC to challenge every iota they do not like.

Those pushing for the Article V have their hearts in the right place, but their heads are in the clouds, if they think this will produce what they want.

Once the doors close, it is no-holds-barred. Considering the history of the Republicans as the fold-and-compromise party, I would not trust them in any venue with progressives.

Currently the country is being dominated by the big city states mostly on the borders with the exception of Texas and somewhat with Florida. Fly over country is majority red. With an article V convention with each state having one vote, I believe the red or conservative leaning states have a 1.5 to 1 majority. This may change as DC rearranges voting by its leftist immigration policy.

Given this analysis, now is the time to do it. To wait is to allow the majority of states we hold to slip closer to 50% or worse. Meanwhile, while waiting, the federal tyranny continues to march on unabated. I want an article V now and if not, then we get what we deserve which will end up being a liberal paradise regardless of whom gets “elected” as both parties are controlled these days by the left, the only difference the dems want to do it right now, the GOPe is content to just let it slide away.
