I am thinking it won’t matter. I am thinking the Federal Mess is unfixable at this point and it will be up to 34 states to call a con-con.

Is it a fed mess or electorate mess? I would say its the later.

Padding the tax bill with billions in ethanol subsidies and other special-interest giveaways was surely evidence that you are right. It will take a lot more than new faces and bright promises to fix this ungodly mess.

“it will be up to 34 states to call a con-con.”

You don’t want a constitutional convention. You want a state’s convention where this question is voted on: Shall the federal government be abolished?

Yes or no?

A state’s convention solves big problems while a constitutional convention can only chip away at the big problems.

While a con-con would destroy America in one swift chop, I think they'll be able to do it via the three branches without resorting to that.
