Article V ping.
What is it about the terms Article V Convention and Convention of the States that makes certain people turn into dolts who just can’t get it through their thick heads that neither term sounds like, looks like, or means constitutional convention. Sheesh!
“victory?”
i call it a disaster.
The above statement seems to be based on the constitutional myth that the product of a con-con is a new amendment to the Constitution. But the product of a con-con is actually a proposed amendment to the Constitution which the states can then then choose to ratify or ignore.
“... the Oklahoma State House of Representatives has decided not to vote
to apply for a constitutional convention under the authority of Article V of the Constitution ...”
-
Somebody does not know what the hell they are talking about.
I don’t know if it is the author, the author’s sources,
or the Oklahoma House of Representatives.
Let it V, Let it V...
“This is a crucial victory in the struggle to protect the Constitution and the fundamental liberties it protects from the possible ravages that could result from a second constitutional convention.”
IDIOTIC. Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
If any of the conservative Justices on SCOTUS are replaced by creatures like Soto-Mayer, the chaos created by the Warren Court will seem like small change. The morons who consistently get elected to office pull the same kind of crap year after year - inflating the budget, eroding our rights, etc and they are elected again and again. Spending is out of control.
We are NOT talking a “Constitutional Convention” as the drones in John Birch keep saying. A Convention of the States is a convention directed at SPECIFIC PREDETERMINED ISSUES. Anything else - such as finagling with the Bill of Rights is off the table. Read The Liberty Amendments by Mark Levin. He is a constitutional scholar and worked in the Reagan Administration. HE supports the Convention of the States.
Unless we take drastic steps to address serial office holders, judicial abuse, and the budget, the nation as we know it will soon cease to exist and THAT is what a Convention of the States will do - take power on key issues out of the hands of Congress, the Courts and the President, ALL of whom have long demonstrated they are unfit to carry out the responsibilities with which they are charged under the Constitution.
Article V allows for an amendatory conference by the states, not a “con-con”. There is no provision for a second constitutional convention; these guys know this, and they just want to thwart the process. Business as usual is NOT an option when the Federal government is wild, unlawful, and rogue.
Article V is really the only peaceful means we have left. After that, it’s secession, then CW2, coup d’etats, and tyranny.
Good. Wanna kill the Constitution? Have this convention.
