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

They will never vote against increasing the debt. This has always been voted on from Reagan through today and never voted down. Too many scary nonsense is being said for it ever to happen.

AGAIN, FReepers need to educate themselves on what is being proposed. A Convention of the States excludes the Federal Government. Congress, POTUS and SCOTUS has NO authority and are bound by the states ratification per Article V.
