Me: Do you understand an Article Five convention? It opens up the entire Constitution to rewrite.

You: I understand it enough to know that's not true.

Here is:
Article V. Constitution of The United States of America.
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.


You know it would be real nice if you cruzites, like you, would read the Constitution before deciding to follow fools, like yourselves, wanting to change what you have never read, never studied and have no knowledge of.

You really think 3/4 of the state legislature would throw out the entire Constitution? How's that ERA deal working out for you? The moonbat states wouldn't even participate in drafting the amendments, never mind ratification.

The state governments are the ultimate check and balance on a tyrannical federal government.

I guess you think everything is just fine.
