Article V ping.

If you want to read an article on the topic of a Convention of the States featuring a congresswoman who knows nothing about the Constitution, you'll find this article entertaining for its ignorance.

Last I knew any American is free to move wherever they want. There are many ex-pat Americans in many countries. They could buy an island and call it clintonstan or whatever. Most of them boasted they were leaving if they lost so what’s the big holdup ?

Funny. Given their demographics, they’d end up with the east coast and the west coast, with another country in between, sort of like the old East Pakistan (which became Bangladesh) and West Pakistan. With the same economic results, no doubt.

Well now we’re into the tall weeds. How much can California subvert or impose its will in a Convention of States?

Add in Johnson, Castle, McMullin and Trump, and right-leaning candidates or one-time Republican candidates WERE the majority.

If Hillary has won I would say it would have been the end of the Republic. That has been staved off. As for the rest of the free world, I’m not sure if their time has ended or not.

But they can leave any time they want to... They just can't take the territory with them.

I suggest North Korea. Or Zimbabwe. Either would be perfect for them.

Pssst, Zoe Moron, er I meant Zoe Lofgren... We are not - and never have been - a democracy. We been a republic...

Now, Zoe, why can't Dems remember that fact? My 10 year old daughter knows the differences between each form of government! An adult congressmoron can't?

the majority ruled by the minority.

You mean like the 2 percent of the population that are fags demanding that the other 98 percent bake them wedding cakes and pretend the homos are married?

You mean like the 13 percent that are black demanding that the 87 percent that aren't feel guilty for having some made-up "privilege?"

You mean like the 20 percent who actually wanted obamacare versus the 80 percent who thought it sucked?

You mean the .002 percent of the population that are "transgendered" insisting that the 99.998 percent recognize that they are whatever gender they say they are?

You mean like the 1 percent of American citizens who are muslime requiring that the other 99 percent accommodate their barbaric, offensive sensibilities?

Is that what you're talking about?

Boeing and Airbus will take you anywhere you want to go. No need for a convention; just leave!

I would not shed a drop of blood to keep the Soviet Northeast or Commiefornia in the Union.

“I don’t think we can sustain our American democracy by having the majority ruled by the minority."

Zoe needs a sabbatical to take Remedial American Government 101. She might still flunk it.

It's a good thing we aren't a democracy, right!

She obviously doesn’t realize it but she is pushing for another civil war. The USA would never let CA just secede. It’s has value in its sheer location we simply would not give up without putting up the biggest fight possible. The funny thing is she actually sounds intelligent until you understand what it is she is truly saying and calling for. She’s right about the convention of states being close to happening. Conservatives have been pushing for years for it to happen and it just might now that the CA dems want it. It’s a slippery slope though because all states get to propose changes to the Constitution. Certain changes I would love to see such as everyone in every state who is not a felon can carry a concealed firearm just as we do in many states across America. I would like to see the burning of the American flag have consequences such as giving up the right to vote at the very least. On the other hand changes such as a popular vote winning the Presidency, which simply can never happen as we have just seen, could be changed if enough states agreed to it.

We are certainly living during interesting times. Scary in some ways but certainly interesting. Wouldn’t it be great if we could open the door to another universe, a mirror universe where America is nothing but liberals, then push all liberals from our universe through that door so they can be happy in a country that looks like L.A., NY, Seattle, Portland, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, and all of South America while the rest of us live happily ever after in this universe? Yeah; sometimes I indulge in wishful fantasies too... We could easily do just fine without the 20-30 million that would go. Better than fine; thrive Bigly.

Also, something libs in CA keep saying is CA pays more in taxes than it gets in return. While I seriously doubt that on every level they are not taking into account one of many many ongoing federal investments; military bases such as the huge ones in San Diego and other less populated ones spread throughout the state which brings in huge taxes for the state. Typical dems only see what they want to see and ignore the rest like it isn’t even there. I have seen this phenomenon many times now and it never gets any less astonishing. I bet the dems think the military is something they have to endure, like a cramp or something, rather than be thankful they are there as protection. Simply astonishing... Liberalism truly is a mental derangement condition.
