In 1775 we didn’t have peaceful, constitutional means to press our demands to the rights of Englishmen.

The Framers gave us Article V to address the current crisis, to reestablish republican freedom.

Dude, the Constitution is so 238 plus years ago. ;)

Sorry couldn't resist.

I do not believe that Article V was the intended remedy. Indeed, the present unrestricted suffrage, with enough bribed voters, to block anything worthwhile, practically eliminates anything even mildly constructive, coming out of one of the Amendment processes, at this time.

America's Founding Fathers would never have imagined that things would drift to this point, without a complete upheaval and new start.

It’s hard to not be pessimistic — doesn’t everything the Framers left us for peaceful resolution rely on the understanding of, and commitment to, following the rules as laid out?
