Globalists are "salivating" over the possibility of a Constitutional Convention

...not to mention the far left, white hippies riddled with imagined guilt.

Would you support a Constitutional Convention, Steven?

There are essentially two ways spelled out in the Constitution for how to propose an amendment. One has never been used.

The first method is for a bill to pass both houses of the legislature, by a two-thirds majority in each. Once the bill has passed both houses, it goes on to the states. This is the route taken by all current amendments. Because of some long outstanding amendments, such as the 27th, Congress will normally put a time limit (typically seven years) for the bill to be approved as an amendment (for example, see the 21st and 22nd).

The second method prescribed is for a Constitutional Convention to be called by two-thirds of the legislatures of the States, and for that Convention to propose one or more amendments. These amendments are then sent to the states to be approved by three-fourths of the legislatures or conventions. This route has never been taken, and there is discussion in political science circles about just how such a convention would be convened, and what kind of changes it would bring about.

I've never heard of it before, but I'm not sure we need any amendments to the Constitution. The framework is there and unless there is some issue comes up where it is unclear as the constitutionality of it, there doesn't seem to be any reason.

Well, my read of it is that the Convention method is used when one wishes to bypass DC altogether. Notice it doesn't require House or Senate approval.

States initially had to ratify the constitution so it would seem that they can disengage from it... though there is reprecussions when states do so... Civil War

Hippies

[SpiritAlight 1]

Hippies were for open borders (when they thought it had something to do with free love and brotherhood) before they were against it (when they realized their arch enemies the corporations wanted it too).

Corporations already have open border (special treatment) policies.

A number of years ago, the 3 leaders (of North America) got together and signed stuff...they also have closed door meetings to decide such fates with heads of corporations (hence the last time/meeting in Quebec City and the huge protest march/fiasco).

If anyone is really interested, there is lots of info out there, AND there are so many things one cannot find out.

We just do not have such privileges.

AJ – as many people do – likes to label people.

And like most, he misses the mark.

Its Saturday in Chicago. That means its time for some Pierogies.

Good foreign aid would be interesting. Unfortunately you have the school of thought that is quite prevalent in this country that its OK to profit off of others without investing in others' beyond keeping the profit structure based only so that it benefits the profiteer and its helping hands.

A worthwhile investment it would make. All the money spent on the boarder could have done wonders for the Mexican economy.

Indeed. Very interesting as it would create a larger consumer market for US goods. Oh well. I guess that old line of reasoning that we can be just fine profiteering at the company level's stock off of foreign labor is enough since its- according to that same line of reasoning and quite unrelated to the topic... not 'our' responsibility to make sure that our presence in those bipolar economies is perpetuating a status quo that ironically has some of us scrambling to seal our borders as a direct consequence.

You mix together a bit of nationalism, isolationism, xenophobia and sprinkle of racism - and you get our overall approach towards our southern neighbor.

Canadians are a pretty easy-going bunch but I can't ever see them wanting a union with the US. Well, maybe Quebec.
