Here is a senator's words

quote:

A Vermont lawmaker says a proposed constitutional convention of states is an attack on free speech and sets up the possibility for a runway convention.


quote:

“I see it as an attack on free speech,”



BTW.. it passed in vermont without him.


quote:

The Vermont Senate on March 20 voted in favor of an Article V constitutional convention

I'm confused. Forgive my ignorance. What are the rules on a convention? What's to stop the liberals from taking it over and making things even worse?

It was my understanding that the main driver for a convention was a balanced budget amendment. It's desperately needed IMO.

Since you didn't provide a link for this quote, do you think the unnamed senator is a democrat?

The reason I ask, reading your title it would imply that the democrats were opposed. The senator who made that quote was the senate minority leader- Joe Benning, R-Caledonia.

It was the Democrats that passed the bill, it was the Republicans who were opposed.
