If other Article V conventioneers are as childish, it’s no wonder the movement is stumbling.

The wonderful thing about Article V convention is we can take our time, to expect to get all 34 clocks to strike this year or next is a bit naive. One of the basic truths about America is if congress moves slowly State legislators move even more slowly if at all together.

This is of course why it is a rather safe bet for federalism to allow a majority of State legislators to overwrite congress, as a mere majority could easily take years or a decade to assemble if at all, even then they are only likely to disagree with congress on matters of conflicting interest. Matters almost every american in each respective state will almost always be more likely to agree with their state than that of congress.

Thus if a majority of our State legislators ever did act together their acts should be regarded as far superior to that of Congress in its reflection of the well thought out will of our people.
