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 |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
