Is there enough support to:

Propose a constitutional amendment via Article V convention? The answer appears to be yes - given the right topic.

Overcome the 3/4 requirement for state approval (38 states)? Maybe, again this would need a good issue that the majority of Americans can rally around. I am thinking that protecting the US citizen’s right to vote might be such an issue.

I suspect that a constitutional amendment which would establish the rules for voting in federal elections (us citizen, id to register and vote, separate rolls from state rolls, automatic purge of the rolls post inauguration, etc) would be one such amendment.

I may be the only one, but I remain leery of opening up the Constitution to a climate of Leftists like we have in this nation right now.

Just because we have a lot of Rs showing up on that spread sheet, I don’t trust anyone with our Constitution these days.

I’ve seen too many wobbly kneed Republicans in my day.

Article V requires 2/3 (34) of the states.

Levin’s Article V book is must reading, imo.

IMO TERM LIMITS FOR LEGISLATURE AND JUDICIARY would have a great chance w their ratings so low.

MAGA!!
