If we were dealing with decent people, I would agree with you. Unfortunately, we are facing Communists, Socialists, and liberals. They will not put a deadline on the ratification process. They will choose weasel words and ambiguous phrases that normal people will misread at first glance but that can be read differently at their convenience, once ratified. I don't believe a CoS will solve the problem. It's down to two options that I can see, and I am hoping we will discover an acceptable option that limits the power of government over us but avoids a second civil war.
I don’t believe we have any other recourse. And I believe a CoS is a long shot. But it is the best peaceful shot we have. Have a good day FReeper.
