To: Stop the Feds with Article 5
2/3 of the States should call a Constitution Convention and explicitly define the Commerce Clause in an amendment. With 3/4 States ratification, we can reduce the power from DC to an acceptable level.

The Republic would likely not survive such an exercise. Read Volume 3 of Travis McGee's excellent "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" series to see who liberal activists might likely hijack such a proceeding. At a minimum I expect the 2nd Ammendment would be "revised", but probably a bunch of other things, too.

I think it is way too risky an endevour. Why not pass the ammendments using the traditional process?

Thank you. Some sense needed to be brought to this.
