>>a convention of the states under Article V of the Constitution

So the same tyrannical majority who elected, and then REelected, Comrade Chairman Obumble will fix things?

Meanwhile the Romans 1:25+ clock ticks predictably toward the inevitable natural flushing of the cultural toilet.

[Wallace T.]

Due to the 2014 elections, a large majority of state legislatures are in the hands of Republicans. The Obama constituency does not come out in big numbers for off-year elections, which explains Republican victories last year and in 2010.

If 34 states (2/3 of the 50 states) vote for an "Article V" convention, then the convention can meet, a fact that the neither current occupant of the White House nor the Supreme Court can change. Congress cannot stop it either. The delegates from the states can be instructed, under penalty of felony under state law, to limit the scope of the convention to a few issues, such as ending Federal court jurisdiction over marriage. This would prevent a convention from overturning the existing Constitution, as had been done by the 1787 convention that eliminated the Articles of Confederation. After propossed amendments are passed by the convention, 3/4 (38) of the state legislatures must ratify any amendments approved by the convention. This process bypasses Congress entirely.

Timing is everything. We may be at the high tide of Republican influence at the state level.

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
