Why is this wrong?
If liberals hate it, it must be good.
The libtards have been warnign us about a ‘runaway convention’ that would give liberals everything they wanted- but they would be the first ones SCREAMING FOR a convention if that were true.
No good could possibly come out of this.
And when the CON CON doesn’t work it will be time to convene another Civil War.
They don’t like constitutional, republican government, i.e. they don’t like the people being involved in their own governance. They like the aristocrats deciding everything.
See my book at the website in my tagline.
Did not Mark Levin write a book not long ago about Constitutional articles?
Maybe it’s risky, maybe not, but doing nothing will change nothing.
I don’t think what Mr Levin wants is called a constitutional convention. I think it’s called a convention of states. I understand there is a difference.
Its a Convention of the States. From article 5 of the US Constitution. Not “evil”.

I honestly do not believe GOP leadership/establishment really want a balance budget amendment. They could simply refuse to vote for increasing the debt ceiling and the balance budget amendment would be enforced right there.
They’re only pretending to support balance budget when its a distant impossibility, but when it might actually happen, they will oppose it
ITS NOT A CON CON. STOP LYING LIKE A GODDAMN LEFTIST
Don’t due it. Our country started when the first convention tossed the Articles of Confederation. Given the imbeciles in charge today you would not believe what would come out of a convention; i.e. repeal of the Second Amendment; Free medical care for the world, no white male may hold public office. You get the picture.
[to the author] You’re utterly and willfully ignorant as to what Levin is calling for and he has explained it so many times it’s monotonous at this point. And every armchair reactionary idiot who hasn’t read Levin’s book has further not checked for him/herself that what Levin is calling for is explicitly called for in the Constitution.
The level of non-thought embodied in this screed isn’t worth responding to. You haven’t educated yourself as to what is being proposed.
Your insistence on returning to apportioned taxes from the States is correct.
The federal government was created to manage the affairs of the States as a whole, and not to subjugate them or their citizens directly.
Since the States created the club, they can pay the dues. And collect them from their own members in a way that they will have to answer for...to their neighbors.
Lot harder to send thieves with guns to take money when you live with the people you’re trying to extort.
I know, I know...”The States didn’t write the Constitution, the People did!”.
Convenient dodge. Then why have apportionment written into the document?
Levin’s call for a Convention is an attempt to circumvent the logjam known as the Congress and the Courts. But it comes with incredible risk.
Perhaps better to repeal the offensive amendments placed there by the “Progressive” movement of the late 19th Century. But how to put the Court back in its place? How to end Regulatory delegation and strip the Bureaucracy of it’s arrogated power?
I don’t think there are easy answers.
Then, are you for nullification?
Check out this rant on Levin's ‘socialist flat tax’ .
I don't see a Constitutional Convention coming anytime soon.
But the idea did sell a few of Levin's books. The owners can put them next to their copy of 'Going Rogue: An American Life'
Bind up the government with new rules? Yeah, and do it quick.
