I agree with the opinion that its a dangerous thing to open this can of worms.

Supporters think the Republicans from the states will not be the spineless bend-over and fold variety. Where do they think most of the US Congresscritters come from?

The Republicans are noted for wanting to compromise. Why does anyone think they would be different behind closed doors in a room with Liberal/Progressive Democrats. What current 'rights' will they trade away to get a few other ones -- that benefit their party and lobbyists?

I don't trust any of them. And my state has gone from almost all Democrats in their Congressional delegation to DC and the governship to Republicans. They all turned out to be moderates who go lock-step with the desires of the GOP elites.

Recall how the Pubbies (and most on this forum) KNEW the SC and Chief Justice Roberts would declare Obamacare illegal? How did that work out? Not only do we have Obamacare, but we have it from a contorted, twisted, rephrased interpretation of an obscure and confusing legal argument -- made by that same Chief Justice.

I am one freeper that said if you thought the Supreme Court would overturn ObamaCare you were deluded. I also said Congress would not overturn it either, once Roberts legalized it. I am batting 1000 on these clowns but if Article 5 can't fix the problem then

What Difference Does It Make?

Conservative leaders had no such allusions.

On March 21, 2010, Rush Limbaugh warned that the democrats were using the FDR playbook. I did research on that and posted to FR among many other venues.

FDR argued to the public that Social Security was just an old age pensioner’s trust fund but in court he had his lawyers argue it was a tax. FDR’s exact words were posted here on FR of why he did what he did. And when the news leaked from inside the court hearings that Obama’s lawyers were arguing that Obamacare was a tax, that was posted here on FR as well. Plenty of people predicted ahead of time that the Commerce Clause arguments would be upheld but the tax arguments could be upheld as well. And both were upheld giving Obama his victory from the tax angle.
