https://conventionofstates.com/news/...tion-of-statesSenator Paul stated, “Years of abuse and overreach by the judicial, legislative and executive branches of the federal government have obliterated the enumerated powers established by our founders and made a mockery of the 10th Amendment rights granted to the states and the people.
"That’s why I support the Convention of States Project to restore the original constitutional limits on federal power by calling a limited convention to propose amendments to rein in our out-of-control federal government.”
An interesting development. I'd be interested to see his full remarks. I'm having trouble confirming it anywhere else--not that I find that surprising.
The fear in regards to a constitutional convention is that what comes out might be a communist manifesto. Clearly what remarks we do see here lean less toward changing the Constitution we have, and more toward giving it some teeth. Anyone up for jailing members of Congress who try to create federal laws that usurp powers which are not constitutionally delineated, and are therefore reserved to the states?
