Because it opens up the bill of rights to be re-written by the left’s own fair hand.

Not really.

Correct, Pope Calvin. Does anyone think that any such conventions would be conducted according to rules? The left would show up and psychologically push the Rs into “compromises”. And there would be violence to make sure that the left gets at least part of its way and that everything looks chaotic. If the left loses on anything, they would claim that the Rs “suppressed” votes or somehow “cheated when, in fact, it is always the left that lies, cheats, steals, and assaults. The whole scene would look like a football game in which the Seahawks are playing some girls field hockey team. Apart from that, Levin’s proposals ratify the administrative state, thereby making something evil and unconstitutional constitutional. And who would the R or conservative delegates be? The kind of semi-socialists you find in the RINO party and here?

Total BS. You are either ignorant of the truth or a bald-faced liar.

What difference does that make? Both parties routinely ignore the Constitution and the Supreme Court justices can’t read plain english. The only thing that will restore our rights is the same thing that gave them.

“Because it opens up the bill of rights to be re-written by the left’s own fair hand.”

Not true. The state representatives are subjected to being “recalled” back to the state if they vary from the proscribed mission of the state that sent them. In addition, any ammendment that makes it out of the convention of the states, still needs approval of 3/4’s of the states to become part of the constitution.

A convention of the states is only a method for proposing ammendments. In that respect, it is no different than Ammendments that originate in Congress. The advantage is that the States can propose Ammendments and the congress MUST send those Ammendments to the States for approval.

DC will not fix itself. It is time for the States to take back their authority.
