“It’s difficult to see that we have sufficient numbers of principled people who would want to preserve our Constitution in the midst of a process like this.”

I share the concern. We can't even impeach a president that needs to be impeached. We lost Virginia by not showing up at the polls. All we needed was moderate turn out.

We need a uniter. Let's put CARSON/PALIN in the WH, and then we'll talk.

No thank you on Carson.

2nd Amendment > all.

Commissioners with virtue will be appointed to a COS, as well as commissioners without virtue. Given that they are appointed by state legislatures, with strict controls (see Indiana’s relevant legislation), and given one-state-one-vote, I believe the preponderance will be with virtuous reps. If it were not so, and we were to avoid a COS, then it is all but over anyways. If more populous states had more votes or if congress appoints reps, which is NOT the case, then there is cause for concern. And finally, there is the fact that whatever amendments were to be proposed... the 3/4 ratification requirement by state legislatures insures that whatever is the result, the current Constitution will stand... and be fortified in its ability to rally itself against erosion and progressivism.

The amendment ratification process ensures protection of our liberty. The convention can only propose amendments it cannot implement them. This protects us from a runaway convention.

While I admire Ben Carson for many things, I don't think he'd make a good POTUS candidate. I do think Ben Carson would make a great cabinet choice (on a Palin or Cruz admin ;) as HHS or Surgeon General (non-Cabinet).

We have a runaway Constitutional crisis every time Obama issues EOs, his departments spew reams of new regulations—and everytime the US Supreme Court meets.

Washington will NOT reform itself. And the window of opportunity for restoring our Constitution is closing. Once the Amnesty Tsnuami turns Red States Blue, FUGGET ABOUDIT.

We now have a red state advantage. The amnesty bomb is designed to blow that up. The window is closing on America. It’s now or never. No individual can save us—only We the People can do that now. The greater risk is in doing nothing.
