"I have been a supporter of the Article V Convention of States. I have been a pretty big supporter, a vocal supporter. I am reversing that today because after some real thought and prayer, we are not the people to open up this sacred document. We are not the people. That was a God inspired document that was divinely written. You can read that from I don’t know how many founders. The very hand of God was involved. Benjamin Franklin even said that. The very hand of God was involved in writing that document. Do you believe that we could send that kind of delegate today? Someone who, when they got to an impasse, somebody like Ben Franklin would say, let’s pause and go to church and pray. They did not politic. They prayed. I am not for opening up that Constitution any more because we are not that people any more. When we are that people, I will be for it again. When we have demonstrated our humility and our obedience to God, and I am afraid it is going to take a massive beat down of our country to get to that place, then I will be for it again. Some day we will be humble enough, we will recognize God, some day we will not be an enemy to God, we will not be so arrogant. When we are those people, I will support the Convention of States. But I withdraw my support, and I am sorry to say that. It is because of the fact that this Constitution is wholly inadequate for anyone other than a religious and moral people. We are not those people and we should not stain this document."
Makes sense. Too many opportunists would take advantage like they would in an election.
Something has spooked him and someone has his ear.
It could simply be prayer and this is what he thinks God has put on his heart.
I still wonder though...
And Beck has painted all of America with a broad brush effectively acting as if there aren’t even 100 Godly men to send to this.
Glenn is wrong about this. I don’t see any other path to restoring limited government.
Beck isn’t important, but Rick Santorum is and Santorum carved Article V in granite today on Bannon’s War Room His summation was a tour de force. If I have time, I’ll post a transcript.
Santorum and COS on War Room (Time 4:18):

Would still prefer a multi-year 2020 Election Investigatory Commission be convened to examine every defect of modern elections from 2020 and before. The Commission’s Report could then be used to draft an enduring amendment to the Constitution while leaving operational control to States but mandating paper ballots only with strict maintenance of voter rolls. France has 80 million people and maintains a paper ballot only voting system that gets it all done in one day by 8 pm at night.
In a nutshell, technology snuck in on American election processes.
PAPER BALLOT ELECTIONS ===> 1999
2000 ===> COMPUTER ELECTRONIC ELECTIONS
Computer elections also include printing fake vallits and altering real ballots as well as altering tabulations.
Bev Harris has been exposing the historical impact of technology on America’s elections since 2003:

If ever a Constitutional Amendment was needed, it would focus on elections, as electronics and computers have altered the election landscape to such an extent that the survival of the Constitution itself is in doubt.
I heard that.
He sounds like some of the knuckleheads in here on his reasoning.
