Conservatives do not control 66 state legislative chamber. Perhaps Republicans do, but most of them are not conservative. How will liberals get control. Here is one way-remember Indiana and the law Restoration of Freedom of Religion. Under continuous demonization of the left Indiana caved. Republicans lack courage.

Not true, not at all.
That was the governor, Pence, you referred, not the state legislature. It was the legislature that passed it and sent it to him for signature. The Indiana legislature has courageous conservatives that are in control.
The Convention of States does not require any action or influence from any governor. Governors and courts are excluded. So governors such as Pence will have no say.
Your example fails.
As for the 66 legislative bodies, yes they are controlled by conservatives as the wave that just arived were not backed by national establishment republicans. They are not given attention and they are abandoned by the national party. The grassroots base is hardly linked anymore to the national party.
Some old power brokers and players can and do impede the conservative members that control the ‘content’ of the legislation. But these few have their hand on the ‘flow’, not the ‘content’.
Just today the COS reports that Kansas is ready to overwhelmingly vote for the COS application yet the speaker of their house is stalling the vote for no reason other than he is ‘owned’, just like Boehner is owned’ in Congress. But they do not control the content of the legislation, they are like retired cops directing traffic and most are not paying attention, yet.
It’s a process and the Conservatives that are in control take note and do not give up as they execute contingency plans. That Speaker in Kansas is going to get with the program eventually or be excluded or retired; same with Boehner and any others showing their true colors. It does not go unnoticed.
There are many frauds that call themselves conservative, like McConnell. McConnell can only last so long trying to thwart Conservatives while maintaining he himself is conservative. We are assured he does not survive in his ‘leadership’ after the 2016 elections, especially now that Bevin will be KY governor, because now Bevin will get control of the KY power brokers that were backing McConnell; they will be turned around.
These situations and events will play out in every legislative body across the country because now people are awake.
