They are interested in shaming the Constitution and winning the media Circus.

I suppose that I should add a new objection: it won't work, it will only make us look bad.

What do you suppose the media has been doing for the last 100 years since the inception of the progressive era? Do you really think they need a convention of states to demean the Constitution, conservatism or us?

That has been so thoroughly done by our media and, even more dangerously, by our education establishment that the downside to a convention of the states resulting in a "shaming" of the Constitution is already a daily menu of the media.

But consider your own logic, the media, you say, will want to stop an amendment to the Constitution by "shaming" the Constitution. How does that work? Would they not be obligated to say that the existing Constitution is superior to the proposed amendment? How does that "shame" the Constitution, it only supports it?

The very issue COS would have everyone believe isn’t possible.

That conclusion seems to fit into the category: 1. It won't work -so don't bother trying.

That is the counsel of despair.

the media, you say, will want to stop an amendment to the Constitution by “shaming” the Constitution.

Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific. They aren’t interested in winning the amendment battle, because they haven’t yet won the media battle. Now continue below.

I won’t accuse you of trying to put words in my mouth. I didn’t say what you are attempting to say I said. They aren’t into stopping amendments, they will shame until the amendments just come their way. It will be like Kavenaugh on steroids. They will have control of the narrative and by public outcry the delegates to the convention. That COS is willing to risk it all for amendments to a document that is NOT the problem is astounding in itself. That reams of sheep are willing to follow is less astounding.

My bottom line is COS will not make 34 States and that is a good thing. States better focus on returning their power and Sovereignty before it is too late. The Fed is already limited, the States need to man up and reassert their position, which means pushing back not agreeing to accept what the fed steals from them being dribbled back and delivered in hugely borrowed dollars. The States are enablers to a Congress gone rogue, and no amount of amendments to the Constitution is going to change anything.

We the people are involved and engaged, but I don’t think we the people will have what it takes or leaders either until a full collapse takes place and I don’t believe anyone wants that to happen. At the moment President Trump is leading the charge, we’ll see how that pans out next year.
