“Today, a constitutional convention of the states could, if ratified, authorise some States to withdraw and add other new States . . . Seems unlikely, but not impossible.”

You could not get a constitutional convention today to agree on the Lord's Prayer.

Your preferences - and the Supreme Court justices vote to pass the law Texas v White - drained the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution of any real meaning.

There is no need to leave your place to get medicated. Peek out your window: that MRAP in your drive has more than enough stuff to medicate your entire family. The federal government is coming to help you.

Jeffersondem is persistent if nothing else: after the disaster at Appomattox, we ceased to have a government based on consent of the governed and lapsed into a government based on a supermajority of bayonets.

jeffersondem: "You could not get a constitutional convention today to agree on the Lord's Prayer."

Nonsense, in any such convention solid majorities would agree the Lord's Prayer belongs in the Bible and in Church, but not directly in the U.S. Constitution.

jeffersondem: "Your preferences - and the Supreme Court justices vote to pass the law Texas v White - drained the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution of any real meaning."

More nonsense, since what really drained the Declaration of meaning was insane lunatic Democrats like jeffersondem & DiogenesLamp claiming the Declaration means that anybody can assert independence (and declare war against the USA), at any time, for any reason, or for NO reason, at pleasure if they feel like it that day.
The truth is no Founder ever supported such blatant nonsense, and yet Democrats have claimed it from the years our Founders passed until today.

jeffersondem: "Jeffersondem is persistent if nothing else: after the disaster at Appomattox, we ceased to have a government based on consent of the governed and lapsed into a government based on a supermajority of bayonets."

Naw... jeffersondem is insane if nothing else, in suggesting there was anything "consent of the governed" involved in African inherited chattel slavery.
"Consent of the governed" in jeffersondem's lunatic mind means only "consent of slaveholders".

That's what ended at Appomattox Court House.
