So Okay, you understand that Obama won a majority of the Electoral College or if you want, you can think that the voters in each state that voted for Obama and caused the electors to cast their votes for Obama, you think all these people are going to ratify a constitutional amendment in 38 states? You must know that makes no sense.

So you think delegates elected for a convention, a convention that was called for by 34 states, you think these delegates are going to be in the majority for Obama, and because of that you think they are going to propose amendments that will be detrimental to the founding ideas of the United States. Is that fair? Yes?

Okay, let’s go with this as what you think.

I’ll ask you the question again, how are the pro-Obama amendments going to be ratified by 38 states? Do you think the Obama people can control 38 states?

One more question, do you think conservatives could get 13 states to stop the pro-Obama amendments?

Do you know how many states Obama won in 2008?

Let’s see you lay your analysis in a fashion that we can attribute credibility. IOW “same Americans that voted for Obama” is not an answer tot he 38 state question because it doesn’t add up.

Go ahead, give it a try. Or is it just a ‘feeling’ you are expressing?

I don’t have to “reach” for a process that has never been done, and that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Warren Burger, says would not be limited — when there is a perfectly good process that has worked for Constitutional Amendments since right after the formation of this country, from the 11th Amendment to the 27th Amendment.

Why am I going to go to something that has never been done, is said to not be limiting (by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court) — when something else works?

It’s a simple matter for me (and also I think you’ll find that it’s a simple matter for a large majority of other citizens, too) — when you’ve got something that works just fine over the history of our country, you don’t go looking for some other way to do it, especially when no one can guarantee anything about it and there are warnings against it from authoritative people.

Not much analysis is needed here... not for me and not for a lot of other people.

I like the Constitution just the way it is, thank you... :-)
