Kelleigh Nelson is Right, Mark Levin is WRONG
“I have also repeatedly given my opinion that there is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitution Convention. The Convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda. Congressmen might try to limit the Convention to one amendment or to one issue, but there is no way to assure that the Convention would obey it.” —Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Warren E. Burger
“Having witnessed the difficulties and dangers experienced by the first Convention, I would tremble for the result of the second.” —James Madison, Father of the Constitution and fourth President of the United States
James Madison himself, father of the Constitution, warned against convening a second constitutional convention. When he learned that New York and Virginia were actively calling for an Article V convention in 1788, just months after ratification of the Constitution, he was horrified. He counseled: “If a General Convention were to take place for the avowed and sole purpose of revising the Constitution, it would naturally consider itself as having a greater latitude than the Congress…. It would consequently give greater agitation to the public mind; an election into it would be courted by the most violent partisans on both sides … [and] would no doubt contain individuals of insidious views, who, under the mask of seeking alterations popular in some parts … might have the dangerous opportunity of sapping the very foundations of the fabric….”
Our dear friend Kelleigh Nelson writes for News with Views.
Please read her multi-part article about why attempting to amend the constitution at this time would be a disaster.
A tea party friend from another state reports “I was on a call Sunday with Levin to hear what he had to say. He was basically hollering at people if they disagreed with him… He feels all the power will go back to the states and federal government will not be able to interfere with the Amendments proposed. Give me a break. How dumb and naive can this man be… he is neither dumb nor naive. He is evil and wants to sell millions of books.”
