An article 5 convention is absolutely the worst thing that could ever happen. If one is ever convened, you can kiss the entire Constitution goodbye. The rockefeller foundation has a "brand new constitution" just waiting in the wings for just such an occasion. I've read it and it sucks.

I wonder, did you read the Article V, or did you just take somebody's word for what it says. A convention serves the same purpose that Congress serves, regarding an Amendment. They PROPOSE an amendment. It takes 3/4 or 38 states voting YES to pass an amendment.

The Constitution is being shreded by the present administration, Congress, and the Supreme Court.

Also, if you absolutely feel the need to gamble with the only thing standing between you and tyranny, go ahead. I've presented the evidence. No amount of pearls before swine can change the mind of a fool. Go ahead and gamble, just deal me out. Oh, that's right, you can't deal me out because in the process of screwing yourself, you'll be screwing over everyone else in this Republic as well, including me. All for an amendment to limit terms that can be limited by voters.

If the framers of the constitution had not belived that there would arise a time that the constitution needed amending they would NOT have included Article V in the Constitution, but since you seem to know more than they did, I bow to your supreme knowledge.

I still do not quite understand the Article 5, but I am going to learn. It is time for Americans to stand up and get active in their government. It is nearly too late, we are almost slaves now.

Look at it this way Congress can propose an Amendment to the constitution. It must then be submitted to the Legislatures of all 50 states. 3/4 of them, or 38 states must vote yes on the amendment to pass it, and add it to the Constitution. It works the same for a convention, they propose an amendment or several. They must then go to the state conventions or legislatures for the 38 states noting yse to pass it or them.

@ajpmathwiz I certainly do feel the exact same way. Go google the new constitution rockefeller has all drawn up for just such an occasion. also, go read up on the facts that an article 5 convention can't be limited to just specific amendments. Once empowered, the attendees carry the proxies of the states and can do any fucking thing they want, and can change the ratification process to have 5 bums on skid row ratify it.

After seeing our current government, do you still think an Article V convention is the biggest threat possible to the Republic?

[ajpmathwiz]

And the Constitution we now have would not be the law of the land if it were not ratified by the states, per the ratification clause.

You are correct to call for an Article V Convention. I've been doing so for years. I had the only web site supporting it for many years at metamind-dot-us-slash-cc

Please don't explain article 5 to me, I have it MEMORIZED. There has been 1 get that through yur skull, 1 convention in the history of this country. The precedent set at that convention would stand in court. The convention was called to "ammend" the articles of confederation and resulted in a brand new constitution. That is the predcedent that has been set.

The so called learned scholars either have an axe to grind, or they don't understand the Article V, The convention can only propose amendments, that is exactly what Congress does. It still takes 3/4 of the states to pass any Amendment. The operative word is propose. The conventions or the legislature from each of the 3/4 states must approve the amendment before it is ever added to the Constitution
