I do think states have the right to secede I just don’t think its the way to go. I’m for a United States of America with a small central government. We just need to get back to the small central government part. The GOP is not going to do that for us as much as we wish they would.

The real power in this country is the states. They have just failed to exercise their powers for the past 100 years or so. Time to flex some muscle. Massachusetts and Georgia should be able to be in the same union and get along just fine. Individual states can have different ways of doing things and still be in the same union.

As far as a Constitutional Convention be careful what you wish for. Given the current sate of affairs the left wing loon states will send a bunch of progressive delegates to the convention and next thing you know the 1st and 2nd ammendments will be gone.

Merry Christmas to all.

“...the left wing loon states will send a bunch of progressive delegates to the convention and next thing you know the 1st and 2nd ammendments will be gone.”

Now that’s a very good point. The next Constitutional Convention, if there is one, would have to be done with an abundance of caution.
