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.
Someone using your screen name posted this: “Nonsense, in any such (constitutional) convention solid majorities would agree the Lord’s Prayer belongs in the Bible and in Church, but not directly in the U.S. Constitution.”
You are way behind the herd.
The Lord’s Prayer begins: “Our Father . . .”
If you knew the blue state culture you promote you would know members of any future constitutional convention would never agree to patriotic or patriarchal language.
When nominal Christian churches are tossing The Word you can’t expect blue state representatives to do more.

The phrase “consent of the governed”, you will be surprised to learn, is not of my own making. It is a concept I find in the Declaration of Independence.
I don't want to get into too much detail about the phrase because it would just create more confusion for you. I will say this: from the context of the Declaration I do not believe the signers of the document intended “consent of the governed” to imply they were intent on making electors, jurists, or university presidents out of merciless Indian Savages.
Now, about the fact that 13 of the 13 original states were slave states: I rejoice in your revulsion.
I condemn slavery in the strongest possible terms.
That said, I will continue to use, and to celebrate, the Pythagorean Theorem despite my concerns over uneven wage and hour laws in ancient Greece.
