Dr. Michael Farris - Patrick Henry College
The following is from an email exchange between Michael Farris and a state representative.
Thanks so much for your kind letter. I am happy to answer your questions.
Your first question:
1. “My greatest concern is that so few public officials seem to know the
importance of the existing U.S. Constitution, and our society is so
disconnected from the history and principles that delivered this nation to
greatness. By opening the Constitution to such an ignorant population do we
risk much more than we stand to gain?”
More @ Convention of States
Farris is a liar and I'll debate him all day on his IGNORANT statements. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that MUCH can happen at a ConCon, and there are NO guarantees of what will happen, but the odds are highly in favor of very bad things happening.
ReplyDeleteI posted here once before on this from an article concerning Mark Levin and his call for a ConCon. If you wish I can post it again as the points are exactly the same.

Do you comprehend the King's English? 38 states have to agree to change anything. I guess you are an attorney who has also argued in front of the SC as Farris has done, right......? :)
DeleteThink about it for awhile......
ReplyDeleteHow many states passed the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th Amendments? It's always 3/4 the number of states; right?
Not counting the 13th, 14th and 16th which were never legally passed(actually no Amendment is legal after the 12th.); how many Amendments that have been passed after the 12th Amendment have been beneficial for the country? Maybe two or 3 at best.(A couple of others had no real impact either way, so I'll count them with the majority.) This leaves us at least 12 Amendments that has destroyed what was left of the original country, and another 3 that was of no value.
Not only that any ONE Amendment can severely cripple the country, which is what the 14th Amendment actually did, being the worst of all Amendments.(It ONLY takes ONE nasty Am from a ConCon to finish destroying what is left of the US Constitution.)
Also notice of the total of 27 Amendments 12 were before Lincoln's War, leaving 15 after the war. This shows the severity of detrimental, Post War Amendments have risen drastically after the war. This also shows the capacity and ability for good government NO LONGER exists in this country.
The numbers are 15 total Amendments since 1865, of which we could classify 3 as being helpful to the country, or you can use 4. This leaves 15 or 14 Amendments that have NOT benefited the country and several of them have severely crippled the country. So we take the 3 good Am and divide by the total since the war, and we arrive at a 20% success rate, or 26% if you use 4 Am. So you like them odds at 3/4 the states voting to ratify a new changes in the US Constitution from a ConCon? Gee, and I was giving you more credit than that earlier!
Nor have I even begun to mention the Bankers and the influences of all these PACS who would exert all types of pressures on the states concerning what delegates they choose. Nor have I mentioned the impact the US Supreme Court will have in deciding the legitimacy of any passed Am they may disagree with.(This is in spite of the fact the US Supreme Court has absolutely no say in the legality of any passed Am.
All the above is besides the considerations I posted in my article concerning Mark Levin. Maybe you forgot what I wrote? But Farris did get one thing right, people today are far too dumb to be tinkering with changing the US Constitution. (paraphrased)

By opening the Constitution to such an ignorant population do we
Deleterisk much more than we stand to gain?”
Evidently you only read the first question which was posed by the representative. It was Farris answering them. Just amazing.
Given the enormous power of the NSA, and the files that they have on every political figure in these presently united States, the ability of the FedGov to corrupt the process of a convention of States is a real concern.
ReplyDeleteWith that said, Farris has a real point; we're screwed if we don't do something about this situation; we have little to lose and much to gain by trying. Appreciate the comment on this and the link to your website.
You are more than welcome and thank you. We have always belonged to the HSLDA and have been pleased.
