You obviously have no idea what article 5 is.
MileHi: You obviously have no idea what article 5 is.
Me: dpetty has a point. Here's the text from Article V. Look at the part I italicized and bold-faced. You can't tell me the Dims wouldn't figure out a way for Congress to "propose" which groups in the states count as "conventions" for the proposed amendments (i.e. liberals) and which groups in the states should be ignored as not official conventions from their states. As long as Congress gets to decide if the state proposals from amendments comes from legislatures or conventions, it's a dangerous strategy to go Article V. That is, unless we get real conservatives in charge of Congress so that they can decree that amendments come from legislatures only.
Article V: The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
