When you question some of those guys they claim it would be a "limited" Constitutional Convention to repeal the 17th amendment and add and an amendment requiring a balanced budget. Yeah, right!!!  |
The problem is, once you convene a CC,
all the cards are on table.[/quote]
And I keep reading how this has never been done before, so we would have to abide by what is written within the Constitution itself...
Yeah well, it has been done. There is the precedent of the first Con-Con. In that one, we threw out the Articles of Confederation and substituted what we now know as the Constitution.
So yeah.
Everything is on the table. Including if certain regions of this country even want to be associated with certain other regions.
Do you seriously think that if (most) of the West, or even South, can get out from under the fist of the East, they won't attempt such a thing?
I shudder to think what an actual Con-Con could bring.
