The 1787
Constitutional Convention was brought because the Union itself was about to collapse and the various states ally themselves with foreign powers. This isn't happening now, and the structural problems that brought about the Secession and subsequent war don't exist now. It is hard to see how a rebellion will get anywhere in this case that the economic impact will be in favor of the people. For Justice to a few citizens alone? When did that ever justify a rebellion?

Ther will be no rebellion but this is an issue that's gonna snowball. Stealing from the poor to line the pockets of politicians and robber barons? This is the perfect issue to smack down the SCOTUS liberal activist wing.

There are many types of rebellion. I feel the best is the bloodless kind that happens in the ballot booth. I thought we did that in 1994 but it appears that we only changed the faces of our masters not their practices. We need to educate our children so they understand what it means to be free. That government is a necessary evil and that it needs to be controlled thus we have the Constitution. A document that LIMITS the power of the government. It appears the beast of government has found over the last several decades loopholes in its prison. We need to shackle the government once again. We still have the power now if we weren't all so lazy and uneducated....we could use it.
