A Constitutional convention would be an opportunity for the LEFT to cause all forms of mayhem with insane proposals and by inserting versions of social engineering into the Constitution and lastly is unnecessary. Lastly, I am very suspicious from where calls for Constitutional conventions are ORIGINATING. The Constitution is NOT a “living document”.

Constitutional lawsuits will suffice to kill Obamacare if the supportive arguments are clear and the documentation is not shoddy. See post # 17.

*****

A Constitutional Convention should only be used if all other legislative and judicial efforts fail. However, it is the little-known 4th rail of the system of checks and balances.

Read this thread about the procedures that have already been put in place by Congress - it shows that it is a highly regulated process that WOULD NOT allow for the devolution into chaos.

FYI: I have not been able to find this procedure at any government web sites ...

If a targeted, concise petition were circulated to the states - limited to between 1-5 amendments, each having a 75%-80% popularity, there would be a strong possibility that they would pass.

The ONE amendment that should be put in would be the prohibition of the use of eminent domain in order to transfer private ownership of land from one citizen to another [just for the sake of increased tax revenue]. See Kelo v. New Haven. This amendment would probably have a better than 90% approval rating.

A bonus from having a small, targeted amendment pass would be that Congress would then be aware that the states can [and will] take control from them - if they do not perform their duties in accordance with the wishes of the people ...

Meanwhile, the MI gov. is forcing the AG to put in a counter claim, because he is her attorney, and she represents the state. So he has to argue for both sides. What a croc o’ crap!

I’m sure Queen Christine (WA) will follow very soon. She’s just probably mad that she didn’t think of it first.

He’s surprising us all in this state. We really didn’t think he had it in him. The Queen is fighting him every step of the way.

California stands to lose big-time on this, but Jerry Brown is our AG. He’s not going to buck Il Douche’.

I will pray that California will be next. May God convict Brown that this needs to be done. It's not impossible.

It won’t be Delaware. Beau Biden has refused to file suit. I guess Daddy is more important than the people who voted for him.

When more and more state taxes - eventually a sales tax - it will be his fault. I have called his office. I suggest everyone in Delaware (and anyplace else) call the office and give them what for.

I should think that the AG or Governor would file unless they were Dems. In which case, the Republican should use the issue during the campaign.

I do not think that our state can elect a conservative AG, but we have a viable libertarian for Governor, in Republican Bob Ehrlich, in whom I hope we could expect for him to file a suit.

I would like to say that this could be done based on the law and as a matter of principle. Unfortunately, Maryland is owned by the Fed, based on it’s proximity, such a challenge may not take place from this state.

I doubt it will happen during Gansler’s watch. Ehrlich, if elected, may have to file the suit and then only if he is inclined. I would be interested to see if Ehrlich uses this issue during the election.

Maryland is a whacked lib state.

This country has very, very few statesmen. I would not trust any of the politicos in power nowadays with a Constitutional Convention. I do not trust them to follow any protocols or rules. It would immediately devolve into a reduction or elimination of my rights and a further empowering of government.

I saw that as well. He’s not up for re-election this year, so I don’t know what his angle is.

Same here. We have a situation (a good one really) that makes it better for us to stay here than to move at the moment.

But when the time comes, I want out of here.

I stand by what I said and continue to disagree having a Constitutional convention when Constitutional lawsuits will suffice.

The Queen is fighting him every step of the way.

Dethrone Queen Fraudoire!!! I'll tell you somehting else I'd like see him do, go after the voter fraud that undoubtedly continues in King(?) County that put the queen on the throne. At the very least she stole the first election from a decent Pubbie whose name escapes me.
