America is a five weeks away from Republicans taking back control of the presidency, the House, and the Senate.
And the communist/globalist crime syndicate has gone into full panic mode as they fear what Republicans have in store for the nation.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
One of the things the Left is particularly afraid of is the prospect of Republicans launching another constitutional convention. This would be unprecedented, given the fact that there has not been a constitutional convention since 1787. It was then that the founding fathers gathered in Philadelphia to draw up the U.S. Constitution.
Since a hundred-plus years have passed since the last convention, few see another one in the cards. However, the Constitution includes one line that gives Congress the ability to convene a rewrite session if two-thirds of state legislatures call for it.
This one line has been enough to send liberals into hysterics over the prospect of Republicans aiding President-Elect Donald Trump in enacting another convention to rewrite the Constitution completely.
Some [Leftist] officials are more concerned than ever. In California, a [communist/globalist] state senator, Scott Wiener, will introduce legislation on Monday that would rescind the state’s seven active calls for a constitutional convention, the first such move since Donald J. Trump’s election to a second term.
Mr. Wiener, who represents San Francisco, and other liberal environs believes there is a strong possibility of a ‘runaway convention.’
They say that Republicans could call a convention on the premise, say, of producing an amendment requiring that the federal budget be balanced, then open the door for a free-for-all in which a multitude of other amendments are considered, including some that could restrict abortion access or civil rights.
‘I do not want California to inadvertently trigger a constitutional convention that ends up shredding the Constitution,’ Mr. Wiener said in an interview.
Article V of the Constitution can be amended if legislators in two-thirds of states agree to convene. This would require 34 states out of 50 to come to this agreement. In the wake of last month’s election, 28 state legislatures will be controlled by Republicans while 18 will be controlled by Democrats. The rest are set to be split.
Meanwhile, more than 34 states have standing requests to make changes to the Constitution. In fact, some of these requests date back over 150 years.
President-elect Donald Trump has not expressed any interest in another constitutional convention being held as of late. However, in the past, he has expressed interest in making changes to the Fourteenth Amendment. Specifically, he wants to take out the provision that citizenship is granted to anyone born in the United States.
Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law and a constitutional law expert, believes the Left has “very legitimate” reasons to be concerned about the possibility of another constitutional convention being in the works.
He stated:
The fact that we haven’t had one since 1787 leads me to believe it’s unlikely to happen, but we’re in an unprecedented time in American history, so it’s hard to make predictions about anything. It’s all uncharted territory.
Despite the communist/globalist panic, many believe another constitutional convention will be extremely unlikely. If one is held, it will certainly be fun to witness the liberal outrage which will undoubtedly ensue!
