A Constitutional comvention is a very good idea. Do some of you honestly think that 38 States are going to ratify an amendment that is not in their best interest? It is the only way that 10A powers of the States are going to be regained. There needs to be an amendment that says the SCOTUS can't interpret the Constitution to anything other than original intent of the framers of the Contitution and all of the amendments thereafter, under penalty of impeachment. Another to clarify the commerce clause and still another to say that any citizen has standing to sue the feds for an unconstitutional law before it does harm to any citizen. As it is now, no single citizen can challenge the Constitutionality of a federal law unless he has been harmed by it. Possibly another can say that SCOTUS must review all federal laws for Constitutionality before it can be implemented.
We definitely need an Art. V convention very badly.
It's our only hope of bringing sanity back to the union of the States and the general government. Otherwise we (or our children) will see a total collapse because the feds WILL NOT change their despotic ways.
Have you any idea of how people actually act? You can easily convince people to act against their own self interest (long term) by scare tactics, bullying and outright deceit. We just saw such a thing here in Ohio when the unions destroyed perhaps the only workable chance we had of reigning in the state budget. The campaign of lies and bullying was extreme, and it played perfectly into people's fears and emotions while eliciting little to no fact. This kind of thing happens with far too much frequency. Hell, look at the people who keep getting re-elected to Congress, many of them outright and openly hostile towards their own people except for a few months around election time.
No thank you.
