I said nothing of the sort. Show me where? I don’t trust anyone in today’s government to do anything right, but that doesn’t mean I’ll believe an untried solution will work either. COS has not been done. Revolution has.

I wasn’t referencing your comment specifically, just the entire concept of the COS. As hard as our current government works to weasel out of the constitution, I don’t trust them to actually screw with it. Matt Bracken spells out how he thinks that would look in “Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista (The Enemies Trilogy #2)”

“COS has not been done. Revolution has.”

True. However, the revolution was required because there was no constitution in place to address tyranny. The Framers gave us the Article V tool so that we could have a peaceful remedy.

Remember, the Founders tried for peaceful remedies for nearly a decade, they were not able to execute any redress that was enforceable. The result was bloodshed.

We were given the Article V process as the last and final peaceful solution. It is worth at least trying it, before we start killing each other.
