Publius Huldah vs Article V Part I
Article V Blog ^ | November 23rd 2016 | Rodney Dodsworth

Posted on 11/23/2016 1:50:46 AM PST by Jacquerie

From the Introduction, Publius Huldah gave a lecture on October 29th in which she outlined her opposition to an Article V Convention of the States to propose amendments to our beloved Constitution. The link will take you to a YouTube hosted by the aptly named Patriot Coalition Against All Enemies. Over a fifty-minute span, followed by a Q&A, Ms. Huldah explains why she regards COS and Article V supporters not as misinformed, but rather, as conspiratorial enemies.

Publius Huldah. She opened her speech with “The con-con lobby wants to get rid of our Constitution and impose a new one.” She touched on the two amending processes in Article V and how the Constitution had been amended twenty-seven times by the first method, that of congressionally initiated amendments. COS views the Constitution as the problem, and have been pushing for a convention for decades. As evidence, Ms. Huldah presented the Ford Foundation’s fifty-year-old New Constitution for the States of America Way back then, real conservatives stopped this new constitution in its tracks. To trick America, her enemies at COS recently donned conservative garb and changed their tactics to reintroduce it. Hence, the con.

Rodney Dodsworth Response. The first task in fighting enemies is to de-humanize them. During WWII, the US didn’t fight Japanese or Germans; we fought Japs and Krauts. In a similar fashion, Ms. Huldah uses “con-con lobby” to negatively portray her perceived enemy, the COS. COS and its thousands of volunteers are not misinformed patriots; they are the worst sort of enemy a nation can face, an enemy within. Through assertion alone, without substantive evidence, Ms. Huldah connects COS to wicked groups intent on the annihilation of free government.

Let all things be done decently and in order. In the open, with the full light of day on all proceedings. Let the amendments be brought to the floor of both houses of congress and openly debated from 10am to 2pm Tues-Thurs on non holiday weeks. Debate to continue on both sides until all desiring to speak to the amendment are heard completely. Return the senate to the Mr. Smith rules of filibuster and end the corrupt practice of Cloture votes. Children could watch at school, working people could easily stay informed, citizens would see the true colors of All elected Congressmen. Scary isn’t it!

No Con Con!

You already know what I think, I won’t belabor the point, and thanks for recognizing there are two sides to the story.

She is, to say the least, . . . interesting. Plenty of freepers opposed to Article V have cited her as THE authority. My posts to this series are much longer than usual in order to refute her points.

I had never heard of her until your articles but listening to her words goes against what I was blessed to learn in high school and college gubmint class. It probably makes me ancient to have learned the Constitution in those classes. It was not a favorite subject at the time but I did love history so it appealed in that area. I was an “A” student so did study and as an older lady, now that the time is ripe for an Article V Convention of States I am glad to have this background. Publius Huldah would not have passed this section of the Civics classes in my high school or college. She is off.

You are doing a service with your blog to call out these things. I’ve known only a handful of other people in my life with any knowledge at all on more than 5 things our Constitution does for us. We need folks like you spelling it out in detail. Hats off to you for the work you’ve put into your blog. I’ve shared it with several friends and family.
