Showing Original Post only (View all)I just watched a video from a gentleman in Florida. He said DeSantis went to Montana [View all]
and Wyoming to drum up support for a Constitutional Convention. I believe 34 States have to sign on to have a Convention and 38 States are needed to approve any changes. Has anyone else heard anything about this?
If they do manage to have a convention, the entire Constitution could be rewritten and our County would no longer have elections and possible an entirely new set of laws. It would be like starting from zero with a wholly formed nation. While perhaps far fetched, I am sure the Heritage Foundation has researched this thoroughly and would not commit to starting it if they did think they had a chance to push it through.
I do not think we can take this lightly after seeing the havoc Trump has caused and gotten away with in just 60 days. Less than four months ago I wrote here that Biden should sign an EO relieving student borrowers of all accumulated interest on their loans. Just wiping it off the board, then refinancing all the loans at 3%. That would help millions of students without costing the taxpayers a penny. That idea was met with a chorus of how EO's don't work that way, and Biden does not have a magic wand. Well, it certainly appears the Trump has a magic club with every dirty little trick he has pulled so far. Honestly, did anyone here think that Trump could manage to do the amount of harm in just two short months? And how he gets away with most of it? Sure some EO's are tied up in lower courts, but that is just temporary. Johnson already has hinted about just eliminating the courts that have been blocking Trumps agenda. And the Supreme Court surely can't be counted on to do the right thing. I have never felt so deflated about the proceedings of this country in my 52 adult years. This is certainly not the environment I wanted to live the last years of my life. I also have three children and four grandchildren that have a long life ahead of them. I would prefer it was in a sane America and not some Third World dictatorship.
