> “Enjoy your illusion that things will be better than the founding fathers provided.”

The founding fathers provided the process being undertaken right now by states.

Let that sink in.

It was the founding fathers that voted for that which you oppose.

Col. George Mason is in the archives of Congress as stating exactly that Congress could not always be trusted and that a second pathway was needed to check power in Congress. He led the delegates to revise and affirm Article V. The founding fathers voted for it.

The few who oppose the process are somehow thinking they are on the side of the founding fathers by opposing what the founding fathers themselves crafted for states to have as a process to bypass Congress.

Your argument goes like this:

“I oppose this process because I trust the founding fathers who created the process but it doesn’t matter they created the thing because I oppose it and that’s because I trust them and it will be better to rely on them than to rely on what they created”. WTH?

Boy, are such people confused.

Constitutional scholars can pray that such confused persons take their confusion to someone else on the internet that thinks Article V which is a part of the Constitution that preceded the Bill of Rights and by which the Bill of Rights exists and could not exist without it, is actually a danger to the Constitution. I’m sure there are support groups online for confused souls who don’t know the history nor understand the Constitution, yet claim they somehow know while inventing things out of whole cloth to support their confused thinking. It makes one dizzy just to follow such sad people.

Your rantings are delusional and make no sense.

I simply do not trust the people today to be able to produce a quality amendment. Many state legislators are also corrupt.

But you go right ahead and enjoy your fantasy that things will be glorious. I remain skeptical.

My opinion is that the amendment process is there to be used. It is the proper way to change the foundation of the law when the law is no longer effective in protecting the rights of the states. The enemy doesn’t WANT to change the constitution they just want to ignore it. Congress IS the problem; they cannot be relied on to vote against their embedded interests.
