Thanks, Moses, but none of that is a response to my point, the point that you seem not to understand, so let me try it again...

You cannot have it both ways.

If the Constitution is to be followed to the letter, every word, than that includes the 143 words in Article V.

I cannot make it more clear than that.

I would respectfully ask that you respond to that issue. After that, possibly we can discuss other matters... maybe even your inadvertently referring to a Convention of States to Propose Amendments to the Constitution as a constitutional convention.

Sheesh!

Let me begin with your

Sheesh!

And see where we can go from there.

I would like to begin to by showing you that I am not alone in my assertion that a Convention of States to Propose Amendments to the Constitution is a constitutional convention.

34 States Call for Constitutional Convention

Following Article V is the objective.

I am not annoyed that you prefer calling the proposed constitutional convention a convention of states but I am curious why it annoys you that I do not.

My original intent in this thread was to suggest caution as we go forward. This is a worthwhile warning because every movement has hotheaded people who react without thinking.

I don't want you to think I am not enjoying this but I think we both realize our positions by now and further discourse would likely be pointless.
