[ I have voiced the same concern she has.

I have had folks assure me it wouldn’t happen. If they are wrong, the nation is done. I don’t gamble with things like that.

On just one hot button issue, the Second Amendment. That is undoubtedly where the Left would go. ]

I worry too, but look at all the Un-rattfied amendments that are essentially dead letters:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proposed_amendments_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Unratified_Amendments

So they could try to destroy the 2nd but if we cannot get 13 states to veto such a thing we have already lost the country...

An article V would only generate Un-ratified amendments, it would be up to states to ratify them, and all it takes is 13 states to say NO, and they become dead letters.

Grace, for me it’s best explained like this.

If you don’t want TPP, don’t for TPA the support legislation.

Don’t ever do one single thing that brings defeat one step closer.

That’s my take on it for what it’s worth.

Do you make a good argument. It has merit. Is it as safe as avoiding the problem up front? I’m not sold on it.
