I don’t mind working with a Constitutional Amendment, if Congress can put one forth. But, don’t talk to me about any kind of a “Constitutional Convention” in order to get an Amendment... I would never go for that.
Put up a Constitutional Amendment, by Congress, and then let’s go for it!
But, anyone who says let’s try a Constitutional Convention, then I’ll be one of those arguing strongly against it, no matter what someone says the subject is about.
You won’t know if a Convention for Proposing Amendments is safe until we have tried it, and it doesn’t turn into a circus. Once people see that it is not an engine of destruction but a means for the states to assert their will over Congress, the people will turn to it more often if Congress doesn’t take the hint.
I would infinitely trust state delegates to a Constitutional Convention than I would trust Congress, especially this Congress.
And once again here is the fact, the delegates at a Constitutional Convention PROPOSE AMENDMENTS, they DO NOT PASS AMENDMENTS.
For an amendment to pass it must be ratified by 3/4s of the states or their conventions, that is 38 states or 38 state conventions!
38 States! Is that an “opinion”?
