It certainly is time, but the JBS types are hopeless.

Yup.

COS can address that. Don’t have much faith that the states will have the stones to repeal it though.

They have the power…. Sadly, not the will.

Don’t expect to get any traction for a convention here on FR. The Soros trolls and gutless, brainwashed old goats on FR will shout it down.

Agree. “Democracy,” meaning the people voting directly for nearly everything is too ingrained. Scotus itself foolishly regards the franchise as the right that protects all others.

What would be the odds of at least several sitting US Reps, and/or Senators being appointed to a COS? 100%

You mentioned something about repealing the 17th amendment.

See statement above, they won’t vote against their own interests...ever.

In order for a COS to have any validity, there would have to be exclusions for ANYONE who is now, or ever has been, a federally elected officeholder, or anyone who has been SES, or been GS-12 or above.

Too much risk with unknowns... i.e. over-reaches and outright usurpations.

The democRATS are disreputable adversaries and cannot be reasoned with, nor trusted.

COS = no thanks

It would be better to retake the levers of power via the cartridge box since the ballot box is now pointless.

Sigh. With election thefts going on, do you really think there will be no cheating on this Article?
Soros & the Communist Party already have “new Constitutions” ready to go. Who knows how many more have Constitutions?

NO! I’ll fight this tooth and nail. Likely outcome will be the loss of our essential 2A! NO! Not worth the risk!

To: Repeal The 17th

Yes, we’re making quiet progress without media attention.

I still say the best way to bring this to fruition is for Donald Trump to support the movement.
