Article V ping!
There is more support for an amendment convention than we realize.
Recall that two nights ago, Obama so much as told the world he would, if necessary, rule by executive decree.
Yesterday, the House all but gave up the power of the purse. If Obama didn't get all of the spending he wanted, he promised to “shut down” the government and blame the pubbies.
Are we not where the Framers feared? Are we still a free people?
The progressives have done a masterful job of convincing the average American that democracy is swell. Venezuela has elections too, and like here, all elections do is serve to condone future crimes by El Presidente.
I spoke with our representative who was a participant at the Mount Vernon meeting, and his secretary tells me that the amendment they plan to focus on is balanced budget amendment.
I think most people could truly get behind that one!
You are correct in your analysis. However, IMHO the SCOTUS has done far more harm to the republic via judical review than any other government agency. Especially since they are not authorized by the constitution to perform such reviews. The court simply usurped the power. Early in our history surely but userped it none the less. We simply do not need judical tyrants dictating national law from the bench. And it is not just the Supreme Court but lower courts across the nation as well. Our nation would be FAR BETTER off with out judical review. And teaching children about the real history of the United States is absolutely vital.
The need is to restore limits on the feral government. The basic thrust of the amendments is to unequivicably empower the states resist and in some cases overrule the feral government. That is it in a nut shell. The restoration of federalism.
Dear South Carolina, Please send Goober grAmnesyy packing in November. Thanks,

Apparently, neither you nor the author of the linked article understand how an Article V Convention of the States differs from a Constitutional Convention.
Please familiarize with the differences before chiming in with an irrelevant link.
We’re working on it. Tidbit for ya:
This weekend the South Carolina Tea Party Groups are having a convention in Myrtle Beach.
All of linda’s competitors will be there, but linda will not. Arrogance? Fear?
