I prefer State Legislatures calling for a Constitutional Convention.

That’s a potentially dangerous road, as our favorite author Travis McGee has shown in his latest book, “Foreign Enemies and Traitors.” Check it out.

The con-con route is bowling in the nitro factory. My third novel is all about it, and it ain’t pretty.

” prefer State Legislatures calling for a Constitutional Convention.”

Not no, but HELL NO!!!

Regardless of what purpose such a convention may originally be called for; once assembled, the agenda is unlimited! These days the Leftists would ensure the second and tenth amendments would be stricken, the first amendment dramatically altered or abolished, etc.

You need to remember the the convention in 1787 was originally called to revise the Articles of Confederation!

NEGATIVE!

What we need is a vigorous return to Constitutional principles, not a re-write.

I wouldn't trust today's crop of politicians to draft a grocery list let alone a set of rules to run a republic. This country was blessed-by-God-lucky to have a Constitution written by some of the greatest minds of any age back then and somehow miraculously have it approved and passed by other contemporary politicians that make Dingy Harry and Blinky Pelosi look principled.

Let's not tempt fate again. What we have is a gift from God. We just have to use it as it was intended.
