No good can come from these conventions.
No good came from the Con-Con of 1787....See Gary North’s book Conspiracy In Philadelphia....entire book can be downloaded online.
We need the Soros family, Tom Steyer, and the liberal tech-tards spending billions on influencing a convention like we need a hole in the head.
This is a bad trend.
If the constitution is ever opened for revision at a convention it would be stripped of protections and loaded down with globalist, socialist, politically correct garbage.
Well meaning people might think they could control the process and implement only meaningful changes in compliance with the spirit and word of the constitution as it now stands.
But they would get steam-rollered the same way the democrats, GOPe, wealthy leftists and globalists are trying to steam-roller President Trump and his administration.
The way they were able to engineer the buying and stealing of elections this past Tuesday is an example of what would happen at a constitutional convention.
While I fully support the Convention of States efforts, this “call” for an amendment convention is a different one.
I see the usual “arguments” here on this thread that are fully answered and non-issues.
Happy for this, based on Mark Levin’s good arguments.
An Article V Convention of States is the only way to reestablished our Republic since the DC swamp will not surrender their power.
Repeal the 17th Amendment, Term Limits for Congress and the Courts, Balanced Budget, and Congressional approval on Federal regulations with greater than $100 million economic impact.
We already have Executive and Judicial “conventions” every time the swamp issues unconstitutional executive actions or sweeping SCOTUS rulings. Three Fourths of the State legislatures must adopt any Amendment just as if it came from Congress.
It’s the only way.
A Convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution, also called an Article V Convention, or Amendments Convention, called for by two-thirds (currently 34) of the state legislatures, is one of two processes authorized by Article Five of the United States Constitution whereby the Constitution, the nation's frame of government, may be altered. Amendments may also be proposed by the Congress with a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.[1]
To become part of the Constitution, an amendment must be ratified by either—as determined by Congress—the legislatures of three-fourths (presently 38) of the states or State ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states. Thirty-three amendments to the United States Constitution have been approved by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. Twenty-seven of these amendments have been ratified and are now part of the Constitution. As of 2017, the convention process has never been used for proposing constitutional amendments.
This article is incorrect as far as the count goes.
For a Convention of the States dedicated to a balanced budget amendment only, the count is now 30 down, 4 to go.
I can see it happening...
WAY TOO DANGEROUS....I’m against fooling around with the Constitution....too many libs in power right now!!!!
