How would a Convention of States end the tyranny of the federal government?

I would fear that we could also lose what we already have if our untrustworthy political dictators got together.

It would change the political calculus. Think of it like a recall election - once there is one, the bar to getting another one to happen is far lower. Sort of like simple majority votes in the Senate.

Amen. You can kiss the 2A good bye and/or the 5A, the 1A would be gutted.

For clarification on this issue, best source IMHO is Mark Levin. I encourage you to:

Read The Liberty Ammendments, Mark Levin

Watch Hannity Special on the book with Levin.

A Convention of States is not the same thing as a Constitutional Convention. As per Art. 5 of US Constitution, 2/3 of states can call for a convention of the states. Need 3/4 of states to ratify, so would not have runaway convention according to Levin.

Watch the Hannity You Tube video, it is very informative.

With all due respect, what is your solution? Seems to me we are losing liberty on a daily basis regardless of which party is in control of congress or white house.
