“No way to keep the so-called “progressives” out and no way to prevent them doing anything.”
You should quit insisting on being ignorant.
A proposed amendment requires the approval of 2/3 of the states.
A ratified amendment requires 3/4 of state legislatures. 38 states.
Once there is a “convention” the door is potentially thrown open.
Or do you imagine that progressives, who haven’t cared one jot about lawlessness they trade in, will suddenly grow consciences and restrain themselves to the agenda the States approved of?
Don’t criticize my “ignorance” while expressing blind trust in fools and knaves.
