Sorry, this thing makes me uneasy. I can’t shake the worry that if a Convention is ever called the liberals would find some way to highjack it.

That would require wholesale hijacking of the state legislatures. Delegates will have commissions backed up with felony penalties for violations.

Here is the Indiana commissioning statute.

The country has been hijacked.

The Constitution has been thrown in the dumpster.

You’re not being protected from anything by fearing or opposing the states themselves, under Article V, convening to reign in the feds.

At such an Article V convention of the states, the very states that want to reign in the feds will convene to pass amendments to the Constitution designed to do just that, reign in the feds.

It takes 3/4 of these states to pass any amendment.

The process will be transparent.

How will “liberals” hijack it?

Instead of fearing, you can become informed as to what it is, where it springs from, how it works.

Conservatives control 66 pf 99 state legislative chambers. How do you suppose liberals will get control?

And you do know it takes 3/4’s of states or 38 states to ratify any amendment to be part of the Constitution don’t you?

They will. It'll happen. Only it'll be less a hijacking and more of a GOP bends over and let the left screw them just to get a couple Republican pieces passed.

And taking no action pretty much ensures our continued decline as a free nation - inaction due to fear is not a viable option; it's a cop-out.
