Infighting, Legal Questions Slow ALEC Push for Second Constituti
The comments section don’t allow adequate responses to the misinformation in this this left wing propaganda piece. It’s full of inflammatory rhetoric and lies, meant to stir up the site's primary readers. The lies include things the article’s focus on a Constitutional Convention rather than an Article V Convention of States (COS), the lie that Scalia was against a COS, and the idea that there is nothing to limit a COS.
Like Scalia said, "The founders inserted this alternative method of obtaining constitutional amendments because they knew the Congress would be unwilling to give attention to many issues the people are concerned with...". He also said the idea that an Article V convention could propose an extreme or unpalatable amendment could also be said about convening Congress.
Readers should look beyond this nonsense article and research COS on their own. Our current government leaders, judges, and bureaucrats have gone beyond their authority and need reigning in.
