Y’all do know that a Constitutional Convention would be a disaster, right?

All those “positive rights” that Leftists keep talking about will be in any new document. You know, “rights” to food, shelter, medical care, education, internet access, etc. - things the rest of us have PAY for.

They would also curtail free speech in the name of preventing “Hate.”

And as for limiting it to specific items like fiscal responsibility - just try to get that past a judge.

The things that WOULDN’T be in the new charter are stuff like property rights, self defense, and free speech.

Any amendments would need to get through 38 state legislatures. Leftist amendments would not be popular. They couldn’t even get the ERA through...in the 1970’s, at the very height of liberalism’s popularity...even after an extension!
