I am highly sympathetic to a convention of the states. But I have a feeling in my bones that TPTB will somehow manipulate, bribe or blackmail their way into control...and then say goodbye to our liberties.
Agreed we are losing liberties and freedoms, but a convention has landmines and pitfalls. Who will be the leaders in this convention? It will not be constitutionalism, it’ll be the same leaders of both parties that we contend and battle with today. A convention puts the entire Constitution on the table to amend, what if strengthening State rights over Federal control is horse traded by “our leaders” to amend or remove the 2nd amendment?
WE don’t need a convention to write language to strengthen State rights over Federal rights, those rights are quite clearly stated in the Constitution. We need States to continue challenging the Fed overreach.
Sure doesn’t tell you who the delegates will be, and that is only one issue, there are many others. How about we get close to an Article V that will scare the h e double q out of the Congress and they finally step up and do their job.
