I suggest we start now to organize for a new Constitutional Convention,

The old Constitution has been abused and used like "used" toilet paper and may be irreparable?

We will need an entirely new government.

Just the idea, we can see the difficulties faced by the First Continental Congress. Who prints the money? Who organizes the military? Who enforces the tax laws?

Otherwise, what is the alternative we face in the future?

Do we remain the United States of America or do we become the Divided States of America?

These questions seem more real with each passing day.

I suggest you STFU

This is unpossible. This can't be kentuck. He's using question marks for actual questions, far out of character.

     Such a convention has already been attempted by liberals. Google 'Democratic Socialist Convention.'  If concessions are for sale, I would gladly pay admission to watch a new Constitutional Convention run by liberals.

So, kt acknowledges that, even though he calls it "abuse", all the USSC decisions he hates are true to the constitution?

DUmmies aren't very good at thinking through the meaning or consequences of their brilliant! ideas.

If he feels the current Constitution is being abused then what assurances does he offer that the next won't be abused?

You don't understand. They assume with a constitutional convention, ONLY the leftist viewpoints will be put into the new document. They don't understand conservatives will also have a say so..

I’m gonna guess the dems lack the popular support necessary to do such a thing.

I know, you can really hear the snapping of the limb as I go out on it.

12. You realize that Republicans get to participate as well?

And that you'll still need 3/4 of the States to adopt any changes, including those small Republican States?

17. You are thinking the "old rules".

I realize it is too far-fetched to even fathom, but we may need to think in a new paradigm if Trump is coronated in 2024.

The "new rule" apparently is that dissent from the insane leftist viewpoint isn't allowed.

14. Bad idea

Amendments yes convention no. Why would we want a convention where MAGAs could get
to input their ideas.

19. MAGAs not welcome.

For like-minded, freedom-loving people, not fascists.

Sorry, no ticket.

Look in the mirror, you fat ****ing fascist.

More to the point, the STATES ARE THE ONES WHO GET TO CALL THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, AND GET TO SET THE AGENDA FOR THE CONVENTION.

As the DUmbasses themselves pointed out a week or two ago, 34 - 37 of the states are presently Republican/Conservative controlled, depending on how you define that; leaving only 13 - 16 states in nominal Dim'Rat control. It currently takes 38 states to initiate a constitutional convention, DUmbshits. What are the chances that free pot for every chickenshit leftist, universal healthcare, abolishing the 2nd Amendment, enshrining abortions up to and including the moment of birth, and glorious socialist utopia for all will even be considered for that agenda?

DUmb**** Kentuck's correct in one sense, though: the leftist scum had better start bracing themselves now for the possibility of a constitutional convention. If it ever comes to pass, there ain't enough Midol on the planet to alleviate the amount of butthurt they'd experience.

I sort of hope the DUmmies get their wet dream of two Americas, except the non-coastal states ("Red" America) tell the coastal states to piss up a rope when it comes to traversing the continent.

Almonds would be $25/lb in NYC. Guacamole in Boston would be unavailable. I love it.

We have seen it. Remember the Seattle Independent Zone? It would be that writ large.
