With respect to Article V your ‘action’ is to mislead and create ‘fear’.

I've said nothing that is any way misleading, and the headline on this thread was an invitation to those who have fears about this plan. I've expressed quite succinctly what my fears of this are. And nothing that has been said here has changed my mind. "You're stupid" doesn't count as an argument.

Bottom line? My focus is on finding candidates that understand the most basic and important obligations of their oath, and who will consistently keep them, and then doing whatever I can to help them get elected.

I have no interest in having the Constitution changed by the very people who have proven that they will not keep their oath.

You’ve heaped blame on the States for not doing something about things which they presently have no power to do anything about.

Someone else called you ‘stupid’. The term ‘stupid’ is applied to persons who show no ability to learn. I’ll let the Forum decide on that descriptor for you.

Well, then I guess Congress should appoint you to oversee the oath adhering capacity of every person elected to a federal office. I’ll bet you think you can make men and women act like angels too. In my knowledge base, I understand the Founders were not assuming anything about human nature other than its propensity for greed and power. The Constitution was not designed based on officeholders keeping their oaths, it was designed on completely the opposite.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue ......

Keep looking for senatorial candidates who will keep their oaths as they simultaneously avoid jeopardizing their rich offices while they serve in an institution totally corrupted from its purpose.

I suppose there are at most a handful. There will never be enough. If men were angels . . . oh, never mind.
