they could make this a reality if they gain much more. If they do, there will be an amendment to make abortion illegal, another to bolster the 2nd Amendment, and another to make Christianity the state religion. God knows what other stupid shit they'll come up with. This should be avoided at all cost. It would probably split this country up for good.

We have so many state legislatures that are in the hands of Republicans that I have my doubts about how the majority of voters would vote.

If they can insure that the system is rigged in their favor. As long as they can convince their base that they are "sticking it to the libs" - that's all that they care about.

Articles of Confederation, weren't working, so a convention was convened to "fix" them. Something completely different came out. Remember, life's like a box of chocolates...
