And I agree; they are essential.
The alternative is to enforce the laws we already have. The Constitution we already have is sufficient. A new one could be much worse. The same folks who have done the wrong thing in the past would most likely be in charge of the new changes. Unless we change the people that we elect, nothing will change for us.
You quote pure John Birch Society bumper sticker assertions. The Framers’ design didn't rely on the virtue of elected officials.
Oh, and We the People reelected President Trump, yet somewhow, he isn't President.
So you are fine with the rat achievements I outlined in post #35?
Your reading comprehension is diminished and you’ve tried to pick a fight with someone who cares less what a wet brain Kool-Aid drinking advocate has to say about the COS. Read what I said, I am not a lawyer nor did I stay at the Holiday Inn Express last night, I don’t know how it will get hijacked, but I do know that we as as a collective society cannot run a clean election and yet they and you want a COS.
I expect if the Western Alliance of Governors said we’ll push the COS thru our legislatures but in return we want UN or Chinese observers at the Convention the COS’ advocacy would undoubtedly think that’s a great idea too. Unbelievable.
<>. . . someone who cares less what a wet brain Kool-Aid drinking advocate has to say about the COS<>
Our Framers were wet brains?
I was wondering when someone would post this canard. It's as if Article V was slipped in by some sneaky Communist just waiting for their chance to spring their trap. Hello? Article V is IN the Constitution for the very reason we face today : a totally out of control centralized government.
The COS under consideration self destructs if it goes out of bounds. That makes any deviation from its intention impossible to enforce, too many people would be aware of that scam. At its worst it would be little different from where we are today with the left censoring the commanding heights of information and stealing our elections. As I will repeat, as often as necessary, to those with brain matter denser than neutron stars , WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
Bypassing Congress comes after electing honest state legislators; and that comes after cleaning up the electoral process.
Roberts Rules: No rule can be suspended if the negative vote is as large as the minority the rule was intended to protect.
Parliamentarian: The nomination filibuster protects minorities in the Senate of size 41 or larger. It cannot be ended unless 60 senators support doing so.
Harry Reid: The parliamentarian’s point is not well taken. We’ve got 57 votes, and majority is enough.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

Lighten up Francis.
Enlighten us. Would love to know...
agreed no mater how bad it is we do not want to do a convention of states at this time in history. everything those wanting a convention of states can be done by amendments to the constitution it just is a lot harder to do in this way and that is actually a good thing becouse tweaking the constitution is dangerous. having a convention of states is 1000 times more dangerous.
This is and has always been a legitimate option.
