The conservative movement isn't done reshaping the Constitution from the ground up.
Conservatives are now pushing an unprecedented convention to re-write the US bedrock text since 1788.
So far, 19 GOP states have joined a rapidly-growing conservative movement to call a new convention.
As former Republican senator Rick Santorum addressed Republican lawmakers gathered in San Diego at the American Legislative Exchange Council policy summit, he detailed a plan to fundamentally remake the United States.
It would become a conservative nation.
And the transformation, Santorum said, culminates with an unprecedented event: a first-of-its-kind convention to rewrite the Constitution.
"You take this grenade and you pull the pin, you've got a live piece of ammo in your hands," Santorum, a two-time GOP presidential candidate and former CNN commentator, explained in audio of his remarks obtained by the left-leaning watchdog group the Center for Media and Democracy and shared with Insider. "34 states — if every Republican legislator votes for this, we have a constitutional convention."
The December 2021 ALEC meeting represents a flashpoint in a movement spearheaded by powerful conservative interests, some of whom are tied to Trumpworld and share many of Trump's goals, to alter the nation's bedrock legal text since 1788. It's an effort that has largely taken place out of public view.

Hat tip to Cotton 1706
Article V ping!
Didn’t Obama already rewrite it ? LOL
Don’t trust Santorum one bit.
He’s an all hat and no cattle conservative.
A constitutional convention, when we are struggling to make leftists obey the constitution we have now. What could possibly go wrong?

Got a nice second house, that he calls a campaign headquarters, though.
Reshaping?
What the heck are they talking about?
Bttt.

I just want it returned to its original state.
Ah, in other words, the EXACT same thing the Dems and Commies (I repeat myself) been doing the past 60 years. Except the Dems haven't been "reshaping" it. They've been shredding it. Well, maybe scraps of paper on the cutting room floor IS "reshaping."
The left loves changing the Constitution through illegal means (living Constitution).
They don’t like it when someone uses a legal Convention.

I’m 100% against it.
Is Grace Panetta related to that big sack of communist dog squeeze Leon?
I think it’s Democrats who just want the Constitution GONE.
This is a stupid idea.
We already have an excellent constitution created by people named Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, etc.
We call the creators of this document The Founding Fathers.
If we have a ‘do over’ there is nothing stopping ‘The Stupid Sisters’ from destroying the Bill of Rights and our Constitutional Republic.
I’m against this 100%.
Oh please. More like rereading than rewriting. Or at least rewriting to make the original version bullet proof against libs with law degrees.
A new Constitution? Another document the left will ignore.

It is Time to Restore the Constitution.
It's TIME to DownSize DC!
Restore the Constitution!Size DC!
There’s only one way that’s gonna happen.
