Does anyone believe that changing the Constitution would cause people in positions of power to “follow it” any more than they do now?
The ones who want to subvert it would continue to find ways to do so.
The solution lies in constant vigilance, noisiness, and in the Vote.
People have to experience the consequences of voting poorly - or the benefits of voting wisely - to get things back on track.
GOTV!
“and ridding the various legislatures and judiciary of oath breaking filth would be a good start.”
Good idea. Now how do we stop the leftists who vote in oath-breaking legislators who appoint oath-breaking black-robe traitors?
Outnumber Them?
The Storm is nearly here. Decks are gonna get a bit of a sweeping.
Thank you, Jamestown1630.
The Constitution has worked since 1789; when it is enforced, and the courts pay attention to it, it works even better!
We should leave it alone, or if an amendment is needed, amend it the old fashioned way!
Pray tell me how re-writing a constitution we don’t pay proper attention to will make things any better?
Links, please!
And, while you are at it, please enlighten us as to how the con con will work and how our lives will be made better.
I just read your homepage.
If you believe what your wrote, you cannot possibly believe the con con is a good idea!
Con con is the garbage idea!
What other Articles in the Constitution do you oppose?
Since you couldn’t bother to read the FrontPage article by Horowitz, its probably a waste of time trying to educate you, but here goes. Enjoy.

By your reasoning, a COS can do no harm.
Firebrand the oracle now speaks: Do not encourage or take part in any convention that includes the Democrats.
One could surmise what Gandhi would say when asked “What do you think of the United States Constitution?”
“I think it would be a very good idea.”
Exactly. They will give us whatever we want in exchange for modifications of the 2nd Amendment.
C’mon bigshot. Expound on how to “enforce the Constitution we have now.”
Exactly.
That’s why a CC won’t change anything.
” I’m very interested in your opinion in how we command rogue judges and traitorous politicians to follow constitutional law as it currently stands.”
The rogue judges who have been blatantly usurping the power of the executive branch are a prime example of the constitution being ignored. A judge who dictates immigration policy to the executive branch does so in violation of constitutionally mandated balance of powers. Ideally the legislative branch would immediately impeach such a judge. Failing that the executive branch should feel free to ignore these illegitimate rulings.
The reason this hasn’t been happening is that these rogue judges have been deliberately issuing improper rulings in hopes of getting our current president impeached. This gets to the heart of the matter, which is that free and fair elections are required for a constitutional republic to succeed.
Currently a radical Leftist/Communist minority has succeeded in using vote fraud and illegal alien votes to vastly increase their power. I believe that if the will of the majority of the voters was truly reflected in the make-up of our legislative branch these other problems could be addressed.
Remove the electronic voting-fraud machines and implement verifiable voter ID and you won’t need a convention of states.
“Remove the electronic voting-fraud machines and implement verifiable voter ID and you won’t need a convention of states.”
That’s a good solution. To do that will require a massive movement that’s organized, with a strong leadership.
I don’t know if these have been posted before, but Bill Still has recently done some very good YouTube episodes on the issue:

And there is little reason to presuppose that such a convention would get up to anything good. Worst case libs could hijack it and pass bad amendments. Plenty of lib jagoffs are among the voices calling for this. James Madison himself was concerned with Article V's complete lack of details as to how this convention would operate and suggested jettisoning the idea.
Even a no brainer "good" amendment like the Balanced Budget amendment that could probably pass, I fear would just be used as an excuse to raise taxes.
The biggest problem we have in this country is that one of the 2 major political parties is dedicated to it's destruction and has a dedicated voter base of gibmedats. There is no procedural remedy for that.
