OBAMA'S BRIDGE TOO FAR
THE STORM UNLEASHED ON AMERICA
Can some of the Legal Beagles among the Freepers can comment on this?
It seems to be if that should come to pass, the States choose the delegates, not the Congress. They can stay the hell out of it!
Any comments on this?
Yes, it’s true Congress can call a constitutional convention. I’m not sure how many delegates have to vote to change a part of the constitution.
Go Ahead...make my day! I don’t believe Obama, Pelosi and the Czars would go down that path, which is a sure-fire way to start a revolution and-or inflame secession movements.

It’s that place and time in the historical path of the progress of our Nation for there to be a Constitutional Convention for adjustments to be made to the Constitution to clarify, or strengthen some of the language in the Constitution to lessen the chances of successful Leftist judicial activism, and to ease the defense of founding intent.
It’s not the place and time in the historical path of this Nation for such a Constitutional Convention with unbalanced leadership in place.
What it is genuinely time for is a remake of the scene in Washington D.C. that would reflect the vision of the founders.
We have to stop what we are doing no matter what it is right now, and clean up the mess we’ve allowed to accumulate so we can progress unencumbered by the build-up of undesireable debris.
The proposed amendments to strike the First and Second from the record would be supported by the country as the change we need, as well as supported by people like Graham as a bipartisan effort.
