Who is “Joseph Ford Cotto”, and why is what he thinks important??
Many non-lefties claim that, if only America “gets back to the Constitution,” all shall be well. These folks seem not to realize that everything they dislike transpired under the Con, which allows itself to be endlessly reinterpreted. Hence, its words have no permanent meaning.Nice pack of lies. Everything that “non lefties”, as he says, “dislike”, happened not because of reinterpreting the Constitution but by blatantly ignoring it.
Just a conservative on twitter. I thought it was an interesting debate as I remember Levin wrote a book on it and really is pushing for one whereas organizations like the Birchers are steadfastly against it.
I think the post is more about what he said, than it is about who said it. For the poster wanted to know what other Freepers thought about a Convention of the States.
Activist and lawyer Phyllis Schlafly was totally against it. Since the Constitution mentions it but never really set any rules on how they are to function, makes for a lot of pitfalls. Almost seems like they added it as an extra layer of protection, but couldn't quite figure out how that protection really might work, and instead left it for others to hash out. An afterthought if you will that someone suggested and thus it was added.
I have flip flopped on it, when someone says there is nothing to worry about, though I have been most not in favor of it, because there are just so many unknowns about it. Besides that, if we can't work within the Constitutional framework, then it becomes even less likely to be a solution, and more like a Pandora's box that might unleash more harm than good.
