I’m curious to understand the logic that thinks the lawless will somehow obey a new law, when the old laws are declared null and void and simply ignored by Executive and legislative decree???
A lawless government will not allow itself to be restrained by any Article V Amendment that passes if they willfully circumvent the existing ones.
As NTHockey said - all the other boxes are now gone save one.
We are extremely far past the point of restraining tyranny via civil means.
And the regime knows this and has made preparations for what is to come.
I agree with what you said, I think the likely outcome of an Article V convention is that it will be ineffective in reigning in this lawless beast.
The main reason I support taking this step or trying to take this step is so that we can say we exhausted every possible civil option at our disposal to resolve this situation before we were left with no choice but to...
I think it’s the right thing to do, because the nature of the last box is such that if there were a way to avoid that, that way should be tried.
Sadly, I think I may be dreaming on a civil way out, it is very possible if not probable that there isn’t one.
I know we tread on dangerous ground when we acknowledge that there is only one box left. I know it and I am comforted by the fact that most of the founders risked life, limb, property and family to give us a Republic. I can only hope to do half as much.
From time to time, I reread “What I saw at the Coup” by Travis McGee. Take some time to read it at:
