In the Virginia House of Delegates, a bill is working its way through the process to call for a Convention of States.
It would be entertaining if enough states called for such a convention to force Congress to act. Once Congress designates the time and place for the meeting of the convention, the Federal role in the process is over. The states will take it from there and tell the general government what they are allowed to do. The delegates will draft amendments pursuant to the guidance and orders of their state legislature, and then the state legislatures will debate the constitutional amendments. If the Federal government does not like it, tough. Their only options would be to comply or declare war against the Constitution and the states.
It will be entertaining to watch Democrats soil themselves once they realize the states are about to put and end to the gravy train on which they, as a party, subsist.
