Full Title: Judge Andrew Napolitano Officially Endorses Convention of States to Chain Down the Federal Government.
The Convention of States Project announces an endorsement from Judge Andrew Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Fox News Channel and author of nine books on the U.S. Constitution.
Judge Andrew Napolitano says, “For generations, long before the Convention of States Project, I have joined many of my ideological and political friends in recognizing the need to call an Article V Convention. American history and human nature teach that Washington, D.C., will never actually restrain itself and restore the foundations of personal liberty that the Constitution purports to guarantee. Yet, to build out the infrastructure, the organization, and the grassroots army to get it done is a huge undertaking. Today, the Convention of States Project is doing just that, and I’m proud to join with my friends Sen. Tom Coburn and Mark Meckler by endorsing what they are doing. When the actual Convention is called to order -- and it will be -- I’d consider it an honor and privilege to perform some of the heavy lifting; which is to draft and disseminate proposed constitutional amendments to the states that, in Jefferson's words, will chain down the federal government to the confines of the Constitution.”
“For two decades, Judge Napolitano has been a public champion for the Constitution and the principles of American jurisprudence through television, radio and his books.” says Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action.

Repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.
You don’t understand the difference between state delegates and representatives do you?
Let’s do it, country obviously out of control
If you can’t get much more of a pedigree than a former new Jersey traffic court judge who left to host the syndicated television program “Power of Attorney,” them you’re pretty hard up.
You gotta look beyond elections. They are demonstrably insufficient to secure liberty. A fundamental start to its restoration is to make senators’ interest coincident with those of the nation, and repeal of the 17A will not be introduced by congress.
Keep the republic? Be rid of the 17A before the rats democratize Presidential elections too.
Good. You should. And join Convention of States.
The problem is, as I understand it, is it is not clear if a ConCon can only address one amendment or as many as it wants to address.
This guy is a fruitcake. If it wasn’t for FOX, Napolitano wouldn’t have a job.
Your argument lost me at the insult.
There is no limit on the number of amendments that a Convention of the States may send to Congress for disposition.
what on earth makes anyone think that the result (whatever that turns out to be) of a convention of states would be any less horrifying than what we have now?
See post #20. According to you two, do the Framers belong in the looney bin?
Another Obama/Hillary will emerge.
Whoopdeedoo. Who cares what that has been thinks.
Is that like the Ice Cream ?
Just keep voting, but don’t complain when an Obama clone worms his evil way into the White House.
Question: If the people and their state legislatures are too corrupt to commission delegates to a COS, why on earth should the people be trusted to vote for congressman and senators?
Are the people who put DJT into office only fit for despotic rulers?
I agree with Publius Huldah, not Mark Levin.
Regardless, we are not enforcing the Constitution we have.
Publius Huldah vs. Article V: Introduction.
I've also found Article V opponents particularly reluctant to learn. Please prove me wrong.
So! You’re the gift and I must accept it?!!!
Nappy has turned looney tunes! MHO
