I would fear that we could also lose what we already have if our untrustworthy political dictators got together.

With no snark intended, how do you define tyranny?

Depending upon what amendment(s) is proposed and ratified, the states could be given the legal ability to overrule federal law and federal court dictates for example. Personally I believe the first COS should be a prototype and send the repeal of the 17th amendment to the states for ratification. After that one CoS per year until we get the d@mn federal government under control.

A convention of the states (this is not a CON CON!)
would deprive the government of money causing it to shrink.

I would think an amendment for a balance budget would come first.

Then some kind of flat tax and abolish the IRS.

We must deprive the monster(fed gov)of our life energy(money)

That’s how we get our freedom back.
