There’s just one big flaw with everything about crowds screaming “ConCon! ConCon!”
If you put the USConst on the table, you put ALL OF IT AT ONCE - not just the parts You want to change.
Which means, Leftists can easily -ridiculously easily - hijack the convention agenda and delete things like parts of the 1st Amendment, all of the Second, and re-tool the 4th and 8th to suit their needs.
GoldPup makes a valid point: we will not see reform in our lifetimes due to the corruption. Nor will a quixotic campaign.
Jefferson said, “You will not need the second amendment until they try to take it away from you.” So that will be the tipping point for all the chair sitters here.
Damned RIGHT Sarge!!! I cannot understand people who are this willfully stupid to think they can call a convention of the states and WIN!!
I’ve lost all respect for a bunch of people over this.
Totally deluded.
I would prefer secession and Civil War but then I am a vindictive a$$hole.
I don't see how. Tell me more.
"delete things like parts of the 1st Amendment, all of the Second, and re-tool the 4th and 8th to suit their needs."
They're doing this already! One more liberal on the SCOTUS and POOF! And what recourse will we have then?
The status quo is not an option!
“If you put the USConst on the table, you put ALL OF IT AT ONCE - not just the parts You want to change.”
With respect, that’s a tired canard. Anything that a convention comes up with would have to be ratified by 3/4 of the states. If 3/4 of the states would buy off on getting rid of the the first, second, and fourth amendments, then the republic is doomed anyways.
I oppose a con con for the exact opposite reason. I view the chances of a con con coming up with anything that is remotely worthwhile AND that would get past 3/4 of the states as being pretty small.
