One question, when you talk about tinkering with the Constitution: Do we have ONE politician in the land who would be quailfied to carry one of the Founding Fathers’ jockstrap?

I have a better idea; let’s ENFORCE the Constitution we already have. If they won’t obey the original one, they’ll spit on anything else you might cobble up in an Article V Convention, too.

So far it seems to me that opposition to Article V boils down to about four objections:

1. It won't work -so don't bother trying.

2. It won't work, even if it does work, because "they" will undo it, ignore it, or somehow overrule it, so don't bother trying.

3. It will work, but don't try it because it will work only for the other side.

4. No opinion on whether it will work or will not work, but the Constitution we have is just fine so the solution offered by the Constitution itself in Article V should be ignored in favor of redoubling our efforts and doing more of the same every election cycle because this time we will get different results.

Which category are you in?
