As I read all of Publius Huldah’s statements I recognize a voice of a sensationalist stirring up disinformation and trouble. I’ve only been studying an Article V convention for 4 weeks now and her false statements are blatant!

One has only to read Article V to first realize that it discusses amendments ONLY to the Constitution. Where she gets this idea of creating a new constitution is her vindictive point of troublemaking.

We already have 26 amendments to the Constitution. Congress gets its own power to amend the Constitution from Article V. Why would the ratification of those amendments be any different from amendments proposed by the states? (Rhetorical) It is sad to me that many seem to have been mislead into a political cult-like environment by this individual.

The states are also given the power to amend the constitution under Article V. It is the same process. There is no voodoo involved that is any different from congressional power to amend the Constitution. It's all one Section. The powers are not different. Furthermore, Article V is about one thing. Amendments. Nothing more. No dissolution of the whole Constitution and no writing a new constitution. Just amending the Constitution.

Well said. Good Luck in Austin and let us know how it turns out.

Agree.

The only reason I’ve spent so much time on her comments is that many Article V opponents at FR hang on her every word.
