A continuing series of discussions of Mark Levin’s new book (debunking the straw men)

I took the above time and provided several links to articles that I hope you at least scan, because the above is necessary to understand my answer to the first two important questions that have arisen since the publication of Mark Levin’s Liberty Amendments. Our questions this week are:

What happens if we try an Article Five convention of the states, and we fail to accomplish our objective?

Why should we expect the federal government to honor these new amendments, should they pass, when they ignore so much of the Constitution now?

An Article Five convention for proposing amendments sounds a lot like a Constitutional Convention to me? Why am I wrong?

Smart people are telling me such a convention would become a runaway process (Run Away!), and would do irreparable damage to the Constitution. Why should I believe otherwise?

Why should I believe states are really willing to abandon federal subsidies and support a process that puts more responsibility on their shoulders?”

Well reasoned article.

An excellent article. I have waited for years for this conversation to start, if not for any other reason than to get people to read and understand the Constitution. When they do they begin to see what our political class has been doing to this country and allows both sides some common ground. This continual back and forth like playground children with no intelligent debate is nauseating.

The most prominent retort from conservative critics at FR is that rather than amend, we need to elect more conservatives. It is a true statement, but does not address the problem.

Unless the structure of government is re-federalized, our head first dive into despotism is assured.
