I agree, the states are the key.

The states may well be the key, BUT they are firmly attached to the FedGov money spiggots. If they throw out FedGov, the money goes away. This is the equivalent of taking a methamphetamine abuser or cocaine addict off their dope. It would be VERY unpleasant which is why very few politicians have the spine or cajones for this kind of act.

A COostitutional convention would be a disaster of the first order.

The convention will be dominated by those who agree with SCOTUS Judge Ginsberg, who would swap the US Constitution for a combination of the UN Declaration if Human Rights and the South African Constitution.

A convention may make sense in a time when people basically still support the Constitution. But now we have an administration and a Democrat party who actively disavow the Constitution, and often say so in so many words.

We have a president who explicitly and publicy states that blames the Constitution for his own failures.

Let’s secure the existing Constitution as the foundational legal document of this nation, before we go mucking around with it.

And the “self-destrcut” method would not be needed if we had a majority of constitutionally conservative (originalist) governors in the States.

And, with the will to continue the agreement of a representative republic; IOW, have a spine!

[freekitty]

Me too.

Does anyone really think that the power hungry, statists in both the GOP and the DNC as well as the thousand of government bureaucrats, all of whom openly defy the Constitution on a daily basis, will simply abide such a decision by the several State Legislatures and go away.

I don't! In today's climate, any attempt at a Constitutional Convention will lead to a civil war.
