Where's the constitutional provision for that?
Not that that is the reason for cowardly state politics.
The states have turned up basically chicken sh#t because the weak-kneed governors are too worried about losing their beloved federal aid to think about overturning and defeating federal tyranny. NOT ONE STATE will stand up to the feds and risk their precious federal aid to which they have a craving and dependence like a drug addiction.
All a deliberate result of the decrepit and mostly unconstitutional and, therefore, illegal feds.
Whatever the Convention of States can do, it cannot and will not get anywhere near dismantling the 80%+, $3 trillion + unconstitutional portion of the feds which by definition is what has to happen for us to recover our Free Constitutional Republic.
Fight the battle for the repeal of the 17th Amendment. Great. May be even necessary, dunno, but certainly not sufficient, not for the recovery we MUST achieve.
One thing is certain - whatever defeat of tyranny and/or victory for freedom we attempt outside of God’s help will fail.
In 1865, ten southern states were rolled into five military districts. A state could reclaim its statehood by ratifying the three new amendments to the Constitution and writing a new state constitution acceptable to Congress.
