Wrong. The commie Rats would highjack the convention while the limp wristed Rhinos and liberal S/C would let them destroy the Constitution.

Yup. The same way they hijacked the 2020 election. There’s no way we can get ahead of them and predict the evil that will ooze from them. Our minds can’t and don’t “go there”.

I am really torn on this one.

If . . .
*You can’t control your senators
*You can’t control your House members
*You can’t control your governors
*You can’t control the courts
*In many cases, you can’t control your state party apparatus . . .

But mysteriously through a secret handshake you’re going to control who gets named the delegates to this convention? I don’t see it.

On the other hand, I agree with Tupelo that it may, soon, be the only shot.

I really wish that people would understand how a convention of the States works. It DOES NOT, NOT, NOT allow for the rewriting of the Constitution. It allows for the PROPOSAL OF AMENDMENTS that THEN need to be submitted to the States of which 3/4ths must ratify.

“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.”

For people who should know the Constitution better, it is sad that we seem to know so little.

“The commie Rats would highjack the convention”

Not if God doesn’t want them to. Then it would be impossible for the commies to hijack the convention.

Don’t forget this inescapable truth.

Very real possibility.

The GOP is a stumbling block, NOT an asset

If you fear a COS will:

Ban conservatives and President Trump from social media.
Rig future federal elections in favor of the rats.
Declare homosexuality, transgenderism, and fag marriage a 14th Amendment right.
Eradicate the internal combustion engine by 2035.
Sell out the US to the Chicoms.
Federalize child care, K-12 and local zoning.
Promote Critical Race Theory throughout the national government, military, public schools and universities.
Equate patriots with domestic terrorists.
Open our borders.
Inflate our currency into worthlessness.
Use FISA warrants to continue spying on President Trump, Rudy Giulliani and any other opponent. Equate Christianity with hate speech.

Then by all means, stand against the states that are strengthening the 2A, passing statutes to combat Obamunism and can truly represent their people in the face of accelerating tyranny.

That assertion is constitutionally ignorant, arithmetically implausible and practically absurd.

Ask me why.
