Tennessee becomes 5th state to pass resolution calling for Article V Convention. Is this something happening out there? Is it legit? I haven't heard so much as a news story about it. And what's it all about? If it is legit, it will be interesting to watch.
Yes there is something happening and it is legit but how far it will go is anyone. If 2/3 of the state legislatures petition congress for a convention then we get a convention. It has always been thought of a kind of desperate move because to only bounds is that they can't eliminate equal representation in the Senate. Everything else is up for grabs. There is a general feeling in state governments that the federal government is out of control and they would like to reign it in. Also no one expects the Congress to reform itself. A Trump or as Sanders presidency might push them over the edge. The same goes for Hillary.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I hadn't heard about it from any major news outlet until I saw that story. I'd have thought something like that would have had some legs in the news cycle.
ReplyDeleteOf course they wouldn't, it doesn't help those in power especially the DEMs and liberals. This is like the 'March for Life' if more people knew about it, a movement might form. Best to pretend it doesn't exist and maybe it will go away.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I sometimes forget myself and assume if the media isn't covering it, it must not be important.
