Texas legislators who support a convention of states to rewrite the U.S. Constitution are at odds over whether to jail delegates who “go rogue” and impose unwanted changes at the longshot gathering.
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott wants to bypass Congress and limit Washington’s power via a federal balanced budget amendment and term limits. But some top conservatives fear a “runaway convention” at which representatives from liberal areas could target things such as the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms. |

Just imagine Bloomberg going 'all in' on this one and contributing $45 Billion to getting rid of all anti-tyranny protections in the Constitution.
Now imagine a $20 Billion matching contribution from Soros, and then imagine federal agencies and state governments hiring lobbyists with unlimited budgets.
Matt Bracken paints a frightening picture on how it might go in his third novel, Foreign Enemies And Traitors. |

| Why go through al that trouble to destroy the Bill of Rights? Just elect one more President like Obama and or Hillary and they will appoint 2-3 liberal judges top the SCOTUS to wipe out our rights in one swipe. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
