Ladies and Gentlemen: The CORRECT answer is for a 2nd Constitutional Convention to be held...we only need 1 or 2 more states to agree...and for that august body to then DISSOLVE the United States of America! With that dead carcass out of the way, the delegates could then form a NEW government, one that is of, by, and for the PEOPLE!

No offense intended. But are you high?

A constitutional convention would be the end of America.

Kaput.

Over. TERRIBLE idea.

“then DISSOLVE the United States of America! With that dead carcass out of the way.....”

....and we would officially become the United Socialist States of America.....with no individual rights, only “group rights” and a population that is never part of the protected group.....I wonder where the gulags would be located?/s

Your idea is the worst idea I have ever seen posted. You obviously have not thought it through in a realistic manner, or you have, and do not belong on this forum posing as a conservative......

There is nothing wrong with our Constitution, the fault lies with the rise of a political class that has lost touch with the populations they represent, and the failure of the Fourth Estate to perform its role as an impartial watchdog of the Goverment......

What on earth makes you believe that anything crafted by today’s politicains would be superior to that of the Founding Fathers? It most likely would produce unfettered tyranny in one form or another.

I take it then that you don’t like the current Constitution and would like to have it fully scrapped, not just half scrapped like it’s now.

You’ve read too many chain emails.

The problem we have is not that our government is not of,by and for the people. The problem we have is the temporary stewards of the government use it for themselves and their friends.

Consider who would actually attend that session and then ask yourself if they are smarter people with better intentions than the framers. A second Constitutional Convention will not resolve that problem since the people making the new Constitution will be the ones raping the current one.

...DISSOLVE the United States of America! With that dead carcass out of the way...

No thanks, bud. I happen to cherish the land of my forbears, and will do anything to restore it. I won't willingly see it "dissolved" so that some lesser kind of state can be created.

We've already got the most perfect form of government created by man. It simply needs to be rid of the agents of destruction that have broken it so badly. That is where the fight is - not with undoing it and starting over. Not on your life!

Absolutely NOT!

With the Democrats in the majority of the House and the Senate, and a Fascist Marxist in the White House, our Constitutional guarantees would be whittled down to nothing in this climate.

You may have a fix or two you want to implement. The left would rewrite the document form the first letter to the last.

Never advocate for this. EVER!

Advocate a new amendment if you must. Do not open the whole thing up to a rewrite, and that’s exactly what a Constitutional Convention would facilitate.

I will fight you with my dying breath before I give in to such an invitation to tyranny.

If you're unhappy with being able to get what you want legislatively now, what makes you think that even the threads of protection remaining in the Constitution would make it into the new American Charter of Indenture?

“...and for that august body to then DISSOLVE the United States of America!...”

Negative, bud.

Too much blood has been shed to give it up so easily.

That’s what the Left wants.

Not on our watch.

Here, let me burst your poor sad little fantasy bubble:
Recall that it was "the PEOPLE" who elected the current denizen of the "White House."

What makes you think that such a Constitutional Convention wouldn't result in the formation of an absolute monarchy? Or perhaps a Socialist Peoples Paradise?

Only a damn fool would think the result could ever be better than the Constitution we have now.
