You haven’t considered the courts, most of which the liberals control.

[Hostage]

I’ve been following this Article V movement for years now. and this is the first I have heard anyone say the courts have anything to do with it. Can you describe how courts are involved amending the US Constitution via Article V?

"You haven’t considered the courts, most of which the liberals control."

The Article Ver's aren't telling the complete story. A fully ratified, proposed amendment must be authenticated, published and archived before the US Constitution is amended.

Who authenticates a fully ratified proposed amendment? The President or one of his federal officers authenticates a fully ratified proposed amendment. A court challenge would ensue if the President or one of his federal officers chose not to authenticate the ratified proposed amendment. It is likely a liberal court would agree with the President.

If authenticated, the proposed, fully ratified amendment must be published by an official federal government printer. Who controls the printer? The official government printer is an appointee of the President. The President can fire an appointee at will. It is likely a liberal court would agree with the President.

Finally, the fully ratified, proposed amendment must be archived with original signatures and witness statements. Who controls the Archivist of the United States? The Archivist is an appointee of the President. The President can fire the Archivist at will. It is likely a liberal court would agree with the President.

Article V will be a disaster.
