You choose to obviate the Constitution because it is 'not likely'?

How liberal of you, to selectively enforce what you choose.

Really?  38 states.  We can't even get together to protect our country.  This country is so divided.  Divided by party and even divided within parties.  I am not capable of enforcing the Constitution but the people who should don't .
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

There really is no debate if you actually read the document.

States are the ultimate authority in it, as intended.

For that matter, the federal government cannot modify any part of it.  But 38 states acting in unison can, as well as firing Congress and the President, and dissolving the Supreme Court.

Convention of States....would have worked prior to the election.  Now would be an extremely risky time as there are now more elected liberal legislators.

Think of what dissolving Congress, the President and dissolving the Supreme Court would mean with liberal stronghold in most states.  Very dangerous idea right now.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Shallow thinking.

just recall how difficult it must have been for the original independent states and draw up the document itself which bound them to certain losses of independence.  That was far more difficult than getting 38 states to agree on something.

What drew them together way back then?  A common cause.  We just need to determine what the common cause now is.

It will be tough, as it was back then, but not impossible.

OK, if its securing the border I am on board.  When do we start?
