We were blessed in 1787; the Con Con delegates were the leaders of a freedom movement that had just cleansed this land of tyranny.
Today's corrupt politicians and judges would like nothing better than the ability to legally ignore the Constitution - to modify its "problematic" provisions to reflect the philosophical and socials mores of our contemporary society.
The majority of U.S. voters just elected a dedicated leftist as President. Republicans are at their weakest right now! This is a horrible time to try such a crazy scheme. We cannot control the debate right now! Don't for one second doubt that delegates to a Con Con wouldn't revise the 1st Amendment into a government-controlled privilege, replace the 2nd Amendment with a "collective" right to self-defense, and abolish the 4th, 5th, and 10th Amendments, and the rest of the Bill of Rights. Additions could include the non-existent Separation of Church and State, the "right" to abortion and euthanasia, and much, much more.
Our uniquely and purely American concept of individual rights, endowed by our Creator, would be quickly set aside as an anachronistic relic of a bygone era; replaced by new "collective" rights, awarded and enforced by government for the "common good".
The problems our nation faces are not a result of deficiencies in our Constitution; rather, they are the direct result of our disregard for that divinely-inspired document of liberty.
There is no challenge faced by this nation that cannot be solved either by enforcing existing law, or in limited cases, by writing new law. We do not need, AND MUST NOT RISK THE LIBERTY OF THE UNITED STATES with, a Constitutional Convention!
The Constitution is not broken! Did you read what JimRob said? The problem is with the people. For the most part, we are a flock of uneducated, ignorant cretins who care more about TMZ and American Idol than the freedoms being stolen from us. The media and the education system has successfully transformed us into willing slaves. No rewriting of the Constitution will fix that. If you think it would be a good idea to open up the world’s greatest government charter to changes now, you’re out of your mind. It would end up looking like the UN Charter. Take a look at that, if you haven’t already.
there is a group that is fighting right now for this.
They have started the process a while ago when they saw what was coming.
they have been involved in a lot of activities including finding representatives from within the states.
