Will it succeed? I hope not. If they can’t enforce what they’ve got, changing it isn’t the answer. The problem is the individuals, not the constitution.

We are fighting people who refuse to abide by the constitution because they can find waffle language like ‘general welfare’, while ignoring strict limitations. A COS can explicitly define such terms, thereby forcing legislators back into their box. There are now more red states than blue, so it’s a good time to give a COS a try while we can still maintain control.

Even people who love the Constitution don’t believe that it is perfect. For instance, allowing senators to be chosen by voters instead of state legislatures was a huge mistake that allowed even more lobbying and special interest influence. That alone requires COS treatment to be fixed.
