Could work with state militias, they’re already limited by the law which they ignore.

Ping. Article V thread.

15: AL, AK, AR, AZ, FL, GA, IN, LA, MO, MS, ND, OK, TN, TX, UT.

For a Convention of the States dedicated to Georgia’s application language, which would re-balance citizens’ rights versus federal power and state power, the count is 15 down, 19 to go.

For a Convention of the States dedicated to a balanced budget amendment only, the count is 30 down, 4 to go.

Have not thought about CoS in a while what with all that has been going on since the 2016 election.

My first thought is the CoS is now much more likely to occur as the progs have made it clear they believe themselves to be above all laws.

I have not seen the proposed amendments lately, I will give them a read.

I feel one of the steps to make it legitimate is to have a stated purpose for a single amendment.

Like term limits. No sneaking in any BS to remove our God-given Natural Rights.

I originally was in favor of CoS, but since then our County D’s have started having a ‘Constitution Day’ event every summer to ‘educate’ people on the Constitution, and that makes me wonder if they have a preparing to take it over if it’s ever held. Changed my mind.

PA had a State CoS back in ‘68, and we lost a lot of our individual freedoms that way. At least they kept gun rights strong, but we lost on a lot of others, like property rights.

Do you trust your State Legislature?
