The convention of states is a case of dumb and dumber once massive voter fraud it taken into consideration.

The last election was stolen in broad daylight with the RINO’s and Supreme Court literally looking the other way.

With a convention of states our Constitution can literally be stolen from us in broad daylight the same way. This way the left can profess the diminished Bill of Rights was legally done, the Supreme Court will go along with it, and we are all screwed.

This is just stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. The people who”ll run this Constitutional Convention won’t be nearly as smart as the people who wrote the first one. Whoever thinks that we”ll come out with a new and improved Constitution should think again.

I am asking this with all due respect: what is the alternative, given the current state of DC?

>>This is just stupid!<<
The way I see it...what’s the alternatives?

Do nothing and continue to let the swamp operate in D.C. with impunity and further this monumental fiscal mismanagement that will eventually lead to an economic crash.

We attempt a convention of the states to pull back the reigns of the federals...risking it going South and having a negative impact on the Bill of Rights.

Civil war if either of the first two alternatives destroy liberty and freedom.

Any other alternatives folks? Am I missing something?

I will never forgive Republicants for that very reason. Their cowardice was reprehensible and should never be forgotten.

You say, “With a convention of states our Constitution can literally be stolen from us in broad daylight the same way.”

What?!? The only thing that can come out of it are proposed amendments, that still must be ratified by 38(!!!) states. So take a deep breath, and a chill pill, and read the chapter in the Constitution describing the procedure:

Article V, U.S. Constitution
* * * * * * * * * *

Article V

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.”

Where in that is the possibility you describe? Quit spreading disinformation.

We have some seriously ignorant people here.

At this point what do we have to lose? We have to fix this out-of-control govt, entitled politicians, voter fraud, etc. Yes, a convention of states poses risks, but not taking drastic steps to correct this out-of-control govt poses far greater risks.

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.
