Democrats steal votes. Steal Elections. You give them the ability to change the constitution en masse and you will get a Marxist America, not only in practice (as they do now at every turn) but also by the law of the land. They want a living constitution. They’ll rig it.
What the constitution needs, is to be obeyed. With justices who don’t do end runs around it. We need 9 Scalias, who follow the constitution, not 9 Ginsbergs who would ignore the whole document to get Marxist America
Leave the constitution alone...... remove those usurpers who would ignore and destroy it.
Like the enforcement of speeding laws, the supreme law of the land needs institutions inclined to follow and enforce the Constitution. The Framers provided such an institution in a Senate of the States. To this end, the 17A must go, and an Article V COS is the only means we have.
As for the judiciary, restore state appointed senators and wave goodbye to federal judges hostile to the 9th and 10th Amendments. The EPA's tyrannical overreach will also come to a screeching halt.
There isn't a right or privilege that can't be abused. We don't consider repeal of freedom of speech and press because some people engage in slander and libel.
No people ever met in convention to sell society into slavery.
You’re wrong on that.
The 2016 election showed the democrats are not able to steal votes from rural America which is where the states rule and where 38 states would be required o ratify any amendment to the Constitution.
The democrats would need to control 13 states in order to STOP any proposed amendment to the Constitution and they would have a hard time doing that, especially now.
For sure the democrats will never control 38 states to ratify, any more than they are able now to control 2/3’s of Congress to propose such amendments.
I don't think there is anyone here who would disagree with that. But given the political Establishment's long record of just ignoring it and de facto overriding it, how do you propose that we get our leaders to obey it??
At least Article V gives us a method, and one provided for within the Constitution.
What's your better idea?
