re: #149 KGxvi

I swear these ā€œconstitutional conservativesā€ seem completely ignorant of what happened the last time we had a constitutional convention. That one, in 1787, was only supposed to amend the Articles of Confederation. Instead, it gave us an entirely new constitutional system.

A new constitutional convention would mean an entirely new constitution, not just a handful of Amendments. And unlike 1789, I highly doubt that every state would vote to ratify. Itā€™s a recipe for the dissolution of the Union.

They donā€™t seem to give a shit.

re: #157 MsJ

Or they do know and thatā€™s the point.

RWNJs would love nothing more that to excise ā€œliberalā€ states from the Union; what would be left would basically be the Republic of Gilead.
