The 17A effectively repealed the 10A.

I'm not sure how the 17th amendment, (changes how senators are elected) repeals the 10th.

Repeal the 17th Amendment to Restore the 10th.

....your comment is very interesting. But, can you go real slow and be real specific about how the 17th “effectively repealed the 10th”, kinda like you were holding a class for the first grade on the first day of the school year.

I’m seriously not arguing with you. I just want to understand your “specific” grounds for stating this.

There is no mention of the matter in the Constitution; an honest jurist would admit that the 10th Amendment indicates it is a matter that state governments are concerned with. That would be the proper interpretation. What we will actually get is an act of monumental legalistic flimflam to invent a right to queer marriage, which by effectively disenfranchising anyone who voted at the state level to define marriage as one man, one woman, essentially removes the legitimacy of the Union itself, as power is supposed to reside ultimately in the people and the states.

We’ll find out...

But...

If that happens - I want CONSTITUTIONAL FIREARM CARRY in all 50 States as well. No ifs, ands, or buts. One state line to the next, no questions asked.

You want that right now regardless of gay marriage, that's no secret.

What we need is some constitutional protections for us genetic homophobes.
We were born being disgusted by their perversion.

Great post!

Had not previously understood the bullet points of it!

Do you think we will see the Article 5 Convention?

What’s its status today ?

Well, I just don't know. Considering the plain, urgent need, I'm amazed we haven't had one years ago.

If some extended reading on Article V appeals to you, you might find the following to be of interest.

Congress’ Present Duty to Call a Convention:

Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV
Part V
Part VI

Disgusting, vile, whatever you call it, rump rangers are at most 2% of the population, and right now, they are running roughshod over the entire country. We all know what happens when good men do nothing!
