Rubo Supports a Constitutional Convention
#58
Hoot Gibson Wrote:Adding clearly worded amendments to the Constitution provide a stronger basis for future courts to correct bad precedents set by the SC. Obviously, a Court composed of 9 liberal justices determined to ignore the Constitution and to follow international laws will not be easily dissuaded from operating lawlessly, but we cannot give up the principle of being a nation ruled by laws and not by men.

Like I said, I have not decided whether to support a Convention of States, but in more than 200 years, a Convention of States has not been convened and the requirement of amendments being ratified by the states gives me some confidence that there would be no runaway convention. Remember that Republicans control a solid majority of state legislatures and those legislatures are not going to ratify liberal amendments to the Constitution.



Right, but it's still a scary proposition. Liberals have successfully wrested control of this nation from the hands of those who once held power. If we cannot regain that control, and I submit that the voter would afford us that opportunity if the establishment does not succeed in scuttling that very opportunity with their blocking shenanigans in the primary process, changing the rules does not seem all that promising a maneuver to me.

And I still see immense vision and clarity in the statement of George Washington on the matter. "If in the opinion of the people the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this in one instance may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed."

I like Mark Levin too. And though I appreciate his thoughts about all this, baring one's neck to the liberal's fang, still presents a danger.
