We really, really, really, really, really do not want a Constitutional Convention right now. What comes out of that given the current makeups of the states and likely delegates, would be the addition of several ‘rights’ and the loss of things like your right to keep and bear arms.

Ratified by 3/4 of the states? No way they could reach that high a number with something as extreme as that right now.

If they presented just the two issues, BBA and term limits only, they MIGHT get enough together to get those passed in the climate we have now. Anything else would never go through with this many Republican chambers in the states, which was why I think its a viable option now.

Absolutely agree. As a reader of Matthew Bracken's books, I know the LAST thing we want in this country is a Con Con.

Yes, it's fiction. But hard to believe what's going on in this country now is not .... or maybe just a nightmare.
