They are not following the constitution as is what is changing it going to do?
Sounds like gun control. A gunman acquires a gun illegally, goes on to school property illegally, and shoots people illegally then liberals cry “we need more gun control laws” what about the first few he broke?
If the constitution was changed, you are still left with the problem of enforcement, so why dont we just enforce what we got???
This movement is a total scam. Article 5 does not allow the states to amend the federal Constitution via a states convention. It only allows 2/3 of the state legislators to petition Congress to convene a constitutional convention.
Lex, I'm not sure why you think this is a complete scam. If so, why have 19 states already signed on?
And furthermore what do you think happens if they get to 34 states and the convention is called. Which is exactly what the constitution calls for! Each state sends 2 electors to the convention, and that makes 100. They then gather and vote on new amendments.
If you think politicians are smart enough or decent enough to know better, think again! They aren't, especially at the state level.
Read Article V again, carefully. "Congress shall convene" a convention to consider amendments, when either 2/3 of Congress calls for it, or 2/3 of the State Legislatures call for it. Either way, Congress is the "convening authority" over the Federal Amendment process.
People are taking in millions in funding for a "states convention" theory that is a blatant lie. There is a very specific method in place to "amend the federal constitution" and in all cases, the convening authority is Congress, not the state legislatures.
In addition, there is no way to limit what amendments would be proposed, which is why George Soros supports a convention to amend too. Last, Congress will decide which amendments are adopted in this process, and send them to the states for ratification.
You seem to forget that the states determinecifcthiscgoes further or not. The state legislators determine who will be the electors to the convention, not the congress.
FYI Sunny.... before there was a constitution, what you descibe is how the convention was estabished in order to create the Constitution. NOT TRUE after the adoption of the Constitution. Since 1787, there is a prescribed method to "convene a convention" and that is for "congress" to convene. Says so in Article V, plainly.
I don’t forget anything. You seem to forget how government actually works, as opposed to how people think it works. What I told you is true… this is the worst time in history to even consider trying to amend that document.
Sadly, ALL social media, news media, and internet search results are censored. I'm shocked we can even post freely at substack for the time being. Thank you for your efforts! Most of what I am teaching is not appreciated by anyone in power... hence, the pen name.

What is so bullshit about that?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thank You,

Of course...

People are trying to escape the inescapable… we have corrupt politicians because the people elect them!!!
