An Article V state amendment convention is a lifeboat for a sinking constitution.

At a minimum it means the congress, president and courts have lost our trust and confidence.

There is no chance the people who profit so well by the system they helped corrupt, will implement necessary reform.

There really is no alternative.

Recall that over half the states fought Obamacare. There may be more support to wrest power from Washington than we realize.

It’s not really the Constitution that is sinking, it is the morals and dignity of the people that is sinking.

The only way I would support a new constitutional convention is if I were a delegate. Even then, I would be suspicious of myself. We are all subject to the forces and influences of contemporary America. Could we improve on the Constitution? Maybe. Could we make matters worse? Just as likely.

I would have to learn more about the people involved before I think that this is a good idea. Interesting post, lots of food for thought.
