They need to ratify Article the First. That would fix a SUBSTANTIAL number of problems. Oh, and like my tagline says, get rid of the 17th.

[Jacquerie]

Agree regarding the 17th. It pulled the keystone from the Framers’ design. Unfortunately, the sheeple, congress and courts are drunk on democracy.

Screaming Birchers with strawmen descend in 3, 2, 1...

China and the Deep State Hate the idea, and will stop at nothing to prevent it. Especially paid disinformation shills. Who will comment below.

The “Great Experiment” has a cancer upon it.

A convention of states is different than a federal constitutional convention.

The federal one we DON’T want.

The Convention of States would bring back power to the states.

That is why the liberals are warning us how they we get everything they want so we better not do it. If that were true, they would be the ones screaming for it, not trying to stop it.

[Jacquerie]

Have you read Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments?

[Blood of Tyrants]

The cancer was the 17th Amendment. And the unconstitutional acts of Congress that created administrative agencies that were given the power to create “rules” with the weight of law were the death knell.

An Article 5 Convention to change the Constitution is about as useful as the saying the 10th Amendment of the present Constitution prohibits 75% of government spending (starting with welfare programs, like Social Security and Medicare).

There are 2 things that need to be done, and neither requires changing the Constitution:
1) Elect people who will uphold the Constitution (Conservatives).
2) Jail people who willfully violate the Constitution (Democrats and RINOs, to a lesser extent).

Without the above, the idea that Leftists will follow a new set of rules when they don’t follow the existing rules is a bit silly.

[Jacquerie]

Just keep voting. As if it matters.

[BobL]

“Just keep voting. As if it matters.”

Seriously? You think the Leftists will simply abide by an updated Constitution.

...and by the way, look at my #2.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Article V convention is a Trojan Horse. Mark my words - it will, if it comes to pass, apply the coup de grace to the American concept of government by the people.

[Jacquerie]

“The 17th Amendment is hereby repealed.”

[Jacquerie]

Yawn. Try reading the article before posting.
