Convention of States.

[Jacquerie]

Article V ping!

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Article V of the Constitution gives us a way to call a convention, propose amendments and shove the federal government back in the constitutional box.

Call a convention? Check.
Propose amendments? Check.
Shove the federal government back in the constitutional box? Why would anyone believe this is what a constitutional convention would achieve? I think it's far more likely that well-organized and well-funded leftists would use the opportunity to simply destroy the Bill of Rights.

If there was a possible amendment with enough support to be ratified by 38 states, wouldn’t it likely be proposed by Congress first?

[BobL]

Nice idea...but why would the Democrats follow an amended Constitution when they won’t follow our present one?

[Captainpaintball]

It should have happened under The Stable Genius. He could have encouraged it.

It will never happen under biden. That window has closed, likely forever. PREPARE.

[enumerated]

The convention of states should go even further - the states should have had to re-ratify the Constitution annually.

In other words, each year, states should decide whether to remain or secede.

If you think that’s extreme… why?

The point of ratification was to make sure the states were freely choosing to join the union. So, if free and willing consent was important at the start, why would it not be important going forward.

Or should it be like a crime family - where once you are in - there is no option to leave?

If anyone on FR, or simply anyone, thinks this is a good idea; you are simply crazy.
You really trust todays “conservatives” to do better and to correct any perceived wrongs? Really? At best there will be capitulation, negotiations, and compromise with the left, and we will lose our God given rights. There will be no good brought about from this. None.

For those that think that an Article V convention is pointless or ill advised, let me remind you that there is no Article VI.

Just my $0.02
jimjohn - OUT.

Careful what you wish for.

I would be very concerned with what the liberals/socialists would do with the convention of states and the way they’ve hijacked the elections. The conservatives wouldn’t be the only ones putting up proposed amendments . . .

Fear, Uncertainty and despair. It is all the opponents ever have to offer . It gets monotonous reading all these cowards whining , sniveling and soiling themselves! Man up! It is what the original Patriots did. We can always fight later on if any their fears come true.

[T.B. Yoits]

Civil War II has already started. Blue State politicians and government employees conspired with Federal Deep State, globalist totalitarians and their street thugs, and the Propaganda Media to steal an election in order to force Red States to bail out failed Blue States.

FBI and the deep state would declare such a thing terrorism and shut it down. It would likely trigger a civil conflict.
