But consider this: the liberals almost always get their way, even when the Republicans have the majority.

This statement betrays a belief that the Republican party is not liberal.

On the contrary. My point is that "Republican" does not mean "conservative." I keep hearing that "we" are winning because Republicans have been elected. But the elected Republicans support the same liberal programs that the Democrats were pushing. They are not conservative.

So, when people tell me that the constitutional convention will be under the control of conservatives, and they support this by showing how many state legislatures are dominated by Republicans, I have to laugh. Liberals run the show. Some are called Democrats, some are called Republicans.

Let's not put the Constitution on the table for open heart surgery until we know who the surgeon is going to be. Laws can be repealed. If conservatives ever do get the upper hand, laws can be undone. If we allow the liberals to mess up the Constitution, it will be much harder to undo that.
