Shame on anyone wanting to ask about open civil war before we completely discuss the peaceful alternative, a Constitutional Convention.

Shame on me then, shame on you if one happens because we shy away from a discussion of how to keep the peace

OK. I’ll “bite”.

How would/could this change things?

I don’t think the problem is the language of the current constitution, but the quality of the men that are currently governing us under it. Nonetheless it is an intriguing idea to organize a Constitutional Convention, make suggestions for changes,and then submit them to the various states for consideration. I offer up my home state, Missouri, located in the geographic center of the lower 48, as a venue for same.
It worked over 200 years ago, maybe it would help now.

Are you out of your freaking mind? A ConCon with the bastards that currently inhabit DC? They would just assume vote on scrapping the Constitution altogether first...

And you don't think the Alinskyites would be in charge of the CC because?

Assuming the results of a convention are good, why wouldn’t they just ignore those laws, too? The answer for how to get them to abide by the Constitution is not another constitution.

“Shame on anyone wanting to ask about open civil war before we completely discuss the peaceful alternative, a Constitutional Convention.”

Why would you want a Constitutional Convention? And do what there? Say, “we really mean it you can't take our guns?” There is nothing wrong with the constitution - there is something wrong with having a Muslim communist as president who wants to disarm us. If by any means Hussein tries to forcibly remove our guns, there will be civil war as we exercise our 2nd amendment right.

The soap box has been corrupted and usurped by the Marxists.

Got one box left. Only one.

A constitutional convention would be the end of America as a free republic.

There’s nothing wrong with the Constitution. It just needs to be followed.
