My issue with this constiturional convention is my issue with the constitution. The first convention was used to hijacked the articles of confederacy. If we open up this box what will jump out maybe far uglier. The Tea Party was hijacked the internet was hijacked our voting was hijacked our schools our medical system our gold. This could easily be hijacked and I am certain they have everything in place to do it.
This has piqued my interest greatly as we are waaaaayyy off the rails of what is written and how we are being governed. I’m very interested right now with the two cases in front of the S/C which would repeal the Chevron decision and kill the admistrative state. I honestly can’t believe Reagan allowed this to become a law. There are many who have been added tit his case and it will have wide ranging effects. I hope the decision is worded strongly too as I’m sure there will be many trying to figure out a workaround. People have finally had enough and the 34 trillion hanging around all of our necks has been I think the breaking point.
An amendment needs 2/3 approval to be sent out to the States and then 3/4 approval to be part of the Constitution. Article 5 bypasses the corrupt gov swamp and lets PEOPLE and the States decide.
Ther first proposed amendment should be to REPEAL the 17th Amendment.
America, the whole world, is in a Revolution (began 2015), which is just a governmental bankruptcy. Like all bankruptcies, there are only two choices. Liquidation (killing) or reorganization, such as COS proposes, but then in their own convention, unintentionally ignores because they don't understand the underlying problem, (i.e.) Revolution. I've outlined not only the reorganization of the federal government (Chapter 5) to them in my book just out "Notes On the Revolution", but the means to step up their exposure, because they're run by the same people who began the Tea Party. Unfortunately, they did not follow through with the Tea Party and they're doing it again. If I were to tell you it's a bitch getting "Notes" airborne, well, it's a bitch. My website is an embarrassment, but you can get a book at fawell.us. I'll send one to Brian here if I can get an address. Sorry for the self promotion, but I've been at this most of my life and it's hard to break out with something that people don't recognize is blazing in their living rooms. Tom Luongo was kind enough to do a podcast with me attached. https://tomluongo.me/2022/06/27/podcast-episode-110-bill-fawell-and-taking-notes-on-the-revolution/
A convention called by Congress upon 2/3 of states having applied can propose any amendment(s). States cannot limit the scope of such amendments by inserting the "model language" in their applications.
I am in favor of the effort to amend the constitution without Congress' help. Washington DC won't fix itself. I hope the state legislatures get on board also.
The Supreme Court finally did a solid and took Roe v Wade back to states, where it rightly belonged. That's the good news. The bad is that very court, over the decades, has taken the Constitution out of many clauses and Amendments. They used small cases that created precedents that were built on over time to make US Law foreign to the original Constitution.
For instance, the Constitution reads in the negative. What I mean by that is the Constitution states the federal government can not do this or that, it stops the government in its track by simply saying it can not do something. The courts have turned that around. Now the government, sanctioned by the courts, can arrest or harass a citizen for anything, and it is up to the citizen to prove their innocence. The Constitution reads that the state can not even attempt any harassment or arrest, without cause, for anything.
An example is confiscation of cash. If you are deemed that you have too much cash on your person they take it, just in case that you might be a criminal. The courts allow this, the Constitution says they can not even think, let alone act on taking it away.
There are dozens of these examples. The Constitution limits government not citizens. That needs to change.

Keeping congress out of the legislation loop might be a good thing.
