“If anyone on FR, or simply anyone, thinks this is a good idea; you are simply crazy.
You really trust todays “conservatives” to do better and to correct any perceived wrongs? Really? At best there will be capitulation, negotiations, and compromise with the left, and we will lose our God given rights. There will be no good brought about from this. None.”
This is Article V, in its entirety:
“Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.”
Now explain how that allows whatever you are hysterical about.
It lists 2 methods of proposing amendments, and one method of ratifying them. Nothing else. We’re saying, “Let’s try the other method of proposing amendments,” nothing else. Still need to be ratified by 38 States.
Being rightly concerned about this is “hysterical” (LOL!)?
Under your calm reasoning that you are very confident about, what’s the point then? Why are people cheering this?
There is now way in heaven and earth, that any leftist would ever agree to anything that would make enough of a majority for any changes.
There is a large amount of evidence that lily-livered leftist RINO’s are more than willing to capitulate to the left. Look no further than this last week.
I trust very few people to do the right thing, and definitely no politicians.
