The Levin notion to fix everything with a constitutional convention is misguided. Liberals don’t follow this constitution. Only conservatives do so. How will changing the constitution make a difference?

The same country that elected Obama twice is going to change the Constitution to agree with conservatives? 2/3 of the same Senate that just voted for this nonsense bill are also going to vote for a Constitutional convention to limit federal power? yeah, right. what they might do, however, is vote for a convention with a single theme of instilling more socialist rights to the people. That’s more likely. Since when do conservatives have enough votes to control the agenda? If they had all this power we would not suffer socialists and RINOs.

That site presents false choices between do nothing or sign onto their scheme to allow liberals to amend the Constitution to suit their purposes. Since only conservatives follow or care about the Conservatives I see only negative rather than positive outcomes of any constitutional convention. No thanks.

The congress doesn’t get to call the convention. Only the states can do that. Ratification of proposed amendments...that is problematic. But we will see. I plan to propose amendments that will neuter the feral government. And restore federalism.
