Can’t they put together enough moderate Democrat governors and legislatures to call for a Constitutional Convention

Not exactly a conservative position. There is no telling what kind of horrors would await us if such a thing would come to fruition. Certainly the enviro-nuts have their own "constitution" already written and ready to be foisted upon the masses, to say nothing of the 2nd amendment (remember how anti-gun Biden is).

Not while we hold so many governorships and upper/lower chambers in so many states now. Lets face it, only a few amendments could pass a 3/4 vote right now, budget balancing and term limits might be the only two that could muster the votes needed without interference from the idiots in Washington .

Let the environuts demand their changes, no way they will pass at this time with the legislatures in office today. 2 years ago might have been a different story, but not right now. Pushing through the two amendments right now and in this way might just pull us from the brink we are teetering on, and reassert the States role in power where it should always have been.

If I didn’t think we are coming down to a time when TSHTF then I would agree it would be nuts to go this route, but we HAVE to get new blood in there and we HAVE to stop the spending.

Who would you rather trust with your families future right now to do the right thing for future? 3/4 of the states with a majority of Republican led legislatures... or Obama, the Senate, and with a very tiny majority on the SC to keep them in check?

I would gamble our future with the States than Washington at this time. (How sad is that we have to talk about gambling at all??)
