They will not “negotiate the Constitution” they will discuss amendments, and the states will have to approve them. Do you think citizens will do worse that congress did with the income tax or suffrage? Congress will sure never propose term limits.

Oh I get it. I know what they are doing. I've done my research. So what you will get is a bunch of swamp monsters proposing amendments to the Constitution that the states will then have to ratify. Because if you think the establishment will allow anything like this to happen without their hand deep in the process, you're wrong.

What you will get is a process completely UNGUIDED by any REAL restrictions (remember, we're talking about this because they refuse to follow the Constitution, the supposed "Supreme Law of the Land"). Sure, the states can send all the guidelines they want. If the Constitution doesn't matter to the swamp, no measly state restrictions or guidelines will matter. Those guidelines that cannot be outright ignored will be battles fought in leftist courts.

You guys think it will be as simple as sending delegates (who will they be?), voting on a specific term limits amendment and then sending it to the states. Voila! Term limits.

Truth is, it will devolve quickly into a chaotic mess, with the leftist marxists creating the most noise. Backroom deals will be made (you want your amendment to pass, you're going to have to support our amendment) and before you know it, we have several amendments being sent to the states, none of which look like what you guys envision today.

But how would I know, right? Wdell, 40 years in the political realm and 2 brain cells to rub together while considering recent history, namely, the 2020 & 2022 elections fraud and the lawfare being waged by the left, well, it's common sense that this will NOT go the way you expect.

You want rid of the 2A? Go ahead with a convention. And don't be surprised when states that would normally not ratify an abolishment of the 2A comes out and does it. Fraud, lawfare and money all talk, and so-called conservatives are nothing more than greedy, weak kneed bastiches who change their political directions at the slightly hint of a fart in the breeze.

You know what I find comical? In the last 40 years, I've watched term limits evolve from a liberal position to a conservative one. In fact, I recall Rush talking about it almost 30 years ago, and the fact that term limits, as a liberal position, violates freedom of speech. If I want to vote for the same douche over and over again, that is my right, and any attempts to stop it would be a violation.
