I'm just trying to warn people who have never been on the left before that you could be playing right into their hands. Soros WANTS a convention of states.
except it really isnt though. did you stop for two seconds to ask yourself why you would want something that soros has been dreaming about for well over a decade?
Here. Everyone can read article V of the constitution and decide for themselves what it means!!
Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
You can limit the discussion to prevent any changes to the second amendment.

That’s just fear mongering.
Any amendment would require three-quarters of the states to ratify the amendment before it is added to the Constitution.
So Congress cannot just change the constitution.
Don’t be obtuse. What he wrote is spot on - a convention of states could be playing Russian roulette if the DS has deeper infiltration than we know.
except it really isnt though. did you stop for two seconds to ask yourself why you would want something that soros has been dreaming about for well over a decade?
Really. If soros wanted it so bad, have you ever stopped to ask yourself why it hasn’t happened?
