Do we even have 34, non corrupted, at least politically neutral or conservative states, with governors and legislatures, who have the stones to follow through?
The last time the States almost called a convention was in 1983, when 32 of the 34 States needed passed resolutions calling for a federal balanced budget amendment.
Congress jumped in at that point, and passed a bill, saying a bill was sufficient, which was promptly overturned in the courts. Much like the line item veto was later overturned.
However, it is important to plant the seed of the idea at the State level now, because there will not be the luxury of years for individual States to get on board. It should be presented to them to ponder, as a “contingency plan”, because there will likely be little time for a typical process to work.
All 34 States will have to pass resolutions within, my guess, six months.
This seems like a good thread of its own. Freepers form various states culd report on what they know.
Don't include California.
