>Texas Senate approves bills that would call a convention of states to amend the Constitution

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/texas-legislature/2017/02/28/senate-approves-bills-call-convention-states-amend-constitution

>AUSTIN — Texas on Tuesday took the first step in joining a growing national movement to amend the U.S. Constitution to wrest power from the federal government and give it back to the states.

>The (Texas) Senate approved a package of bills that would put Texas among a small group of states calling for a convention of states to amend the U.S. Constitution.

>"This convention that we're trying to call is about rebalancing state authority," said (State) Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, author of two of the bills.

>One measure would repeal all but one of the 14 existing resolutions Texas lawmakers have approved since the 1899 that also called for a convention of the states. Another measure outlines how delegates to such a convention would be chosen and the rules they would operate under.

>The third measure would allow Texas to become one of 34 states needed to force Congress to initiate a convention of states to modify the U.S. Constitution.

>Gov. Greg Abbott has made the Convention of States an emergency item for the current legislative session. He has been promoting the idea of a convention since 2016. The states, he says, must rein in a federal government that has run amok. He praised the Senate on Tuesday.

>"Our nation is succumbing to the caprice of man that our Founders fought to escape and I am encouraged that the Texas Senate has taken the first step in joining other states from around the county in reversing that trend," Abbott said in a press conference.
...
>>
>Last year, Abbott released a detailed plan for a convention, outlining nine proposed constitutional amendments that he said would unravel the federal government's decades-long power grab and restore authority over economic regulation and other matters to the states. Among the amendments Abbott suggested are requiring Congress to balance the budget, prohibiting Congress from regulating state activities and allowing a two-thirds majority of the states to override U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

>Under the measure the Senate approved Tuesday, Texas delegates to a convention would only be allowed to discuss changes to the Constitution that would implement fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power of the federal government and institute term limits for members of Congress.

>A convention is one of two ways that the U.S. Constitution can be amended, and it's described in Article V. One way is that Congress can propose amendments approved by two-thirds of the members of both chambers. The other method allows two-thirds of the state legislatures to call for a convention to propose amendments. Republicans who back the idea are confident that because they control state government in a majority of states, their ideas would prevail.

>In both cases, the amendments become effective only if ratified by 38 states.

>So far, the U.S. Constitution has been amended 27 times. None of those were amendments generated by a convention of states. Efforts to change the Constitution, initiated by both conservative and liberal advocates, have bounced in and out of political popularity since the 1970s. None, however, have met with success.

>But the elections last year swept 33 Republican governors into office across the nation, which supporters see as a hopeful sign for the movement to amend the Constitution. Supporters also point to President Donald Trump, who has said he supports congressional term limits, a key issue for conventioners.
...
>>
>Because such a convention has never happened, and the Constitution has few rules to govern the procedure, opponents of the effort worry that it could easily spiral out of control.

>They are concerned that the agenda could grow from a limited number of subject items to a massive number of constitutional changes that could undermine the foundations of American government.

>"You might create one big mess for this state and this nation," said Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston.

>To address those concerns, Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, proposed a change to the bill that would impose criminal penalties that could mean thousands in fines and years in jail for delegates who failed to abide by the limits lawmakers approved on subjects for the convention. By a vote of 19-11, the penalties were added to the bill.

>The measures require a second vote in the Senate before moving to the House for consideration.

>>
>>118408
All liberals have is hate. Hate for America, hate for us, hate for themselves, hate. Like all evil, they must be opposed and stopped, delegitimized, and permanently, even violently, eradicated. There is no compromising with evil, no negotiation or middle ground. You do not make friends with them, talk to them, or help them, because they are your enemy, and they are the greatest threat to you and your family. This is not politics, this is war.

>>
>>118507
I'm not that guy but I agree, minus the violence (for now)

The liberal ideology revolves around destroying society. They don't see it that way, so it is hard to communicate this.

Every thing they do is deconstructing western culture.

And they think that will result in a better world, because they've been taught to hate the west.

Hate toward what? Liberals?

Yeah you might be perceiving some hostility toward the people who have been ass raping my country for decades.

This does not make me hateful. That's called passion.
>>
>>118527
Both sides ass rape. Maybe if you pulled your head out of yours you could see that.
>>
>>118555
We can pretend that both sides are equally bad if you want.
And I think liberals have ridiculous positions on many issues. I accept that conservatives want a country with a particular culture because this is their home too, the only home they know, and wanting a society that you can relate to and understand, and they don't want undocumented migration either, and these are by themselves legitimate grievances.

But the disconnect between fears of conservatives and liberals is that when Obama was in power, folks were fearmongering about death panels and being sent to FEMA camps and having their guns taken. And a lot of middle America believed that.

There's a difference between being afraid because of conspiracy theory and being afraid because the president says he wants to put you on a registry because of what you believe. I don't understand how we can pretend they're the same.
>>
>>118555
It's just not true. Conservatives don't want anything like that.

If your liberal comrades had full power they would rewrite every word of the constitution.
>>
I remember hearing one of the governer's aides speak on Texas's plan for the US and interstate cooperation, this sounds like it's exactly in line of what they were talking about. Increase reliance and cooperation between individual states without relying on the federal government to rule in matters or be beholden to federal aid.

Honestly, I like how aggressively they push that policy. Giving Washington this much power was a complete mistake.
>>
>>118401
>How's that, liberal?

I don't think it's just liberals that worry about people who say they want to change the constitution.
>>
>>118636
This is precisely adding one more step to changing the constitution, in the sense the states are now getting a say in if a change goes through or not. So really, no matter how you slice it, this is a good thing for people who want constitutional matters to remain the same.

The only way you could interpret this as making it easier for changes would be that now individual states can initiate the process, but overall, there's more people involved in approving them. It sounds to me some people are simply worried that sympathetic politicians will be reduced in power as the masses gain more influence.
>>
>>118409
Wait is this a false flag too?
>>
It's been a while since 'Murica had a constitutional convention. We need to refresh the tree with the pen of else I fear an attempt be made by the rifle.

I wonder the motivations behind those who push for convention. The last time we had one we lost the Articles. If we are really are to call another convention of the States we must enter with all intentions made public. I have many proposals;

Expand the size of the Senate. 3 Senators per state, two selected by the State's legislature and the third by a popular vote of all voting age citizens, of the several States. This also means that the minimum vote for anything must be at least 2/3rds + one or else the Aristocrats can always overrule the people.

One term of 19 years for Justices on the Supreme Court

Granted all territories voting power in the House based on the same formula the States use. Territories do not get Senators; except maybe DC? The Federal district is weird. Do we need to force the issue of Puerto Rico’s statehood? If they join then great! If they leave, well then we can’t really let that happen so bad things probably happen.

I hope you all read through the Constitution and write your own, from Preamble to Amendments.

Not when it comes to shit like marriage, abortion, or if doctors should be allowed to tell pregnant women if the child will have a disability or disease

Texas has been one the Convention of States since the 1980's- this is just a joint resolution making the state's voice heard so that the prerequisite number of states will join.

if this is a genuine states' rights movement, then fine. Alabama can have whatever regressive policies they want, I don't really care. Their denial of anthropogenic climate change would hurt us all but at least maybe that could be managed through trade relations with the other states.

Unfortunately the right wing always talks a good game about individual freedom and states rights but when it comes down to business, that usually means red states' rights, imposed on everyone.

If anything conservatives will change a few things

1. abortion isn't a right
2. marraige isn't a right
3. anchor babies are not citizens (fucking revoke ALL their citizenship)

Enough of this shit. Fuck democrats constantly working the system like this. They lie and they lie and they lie and when they get power they FORCE their views on the country.

They've corrupted the very foundation of our rights.

Not until citizens united is a thing of the past should we ever dream of such a thing

The working class that support republicans this bullshit are the most pitiful, self-flagellating faggots alive.

You don't have money. The only leverage you have over them is through government. They want to be your fucking dictator and you're voting away all leverage you have over your society. And why? What're you getting? A pat on the head? Are they going to throw you some table scraps? Is it cuz they pay lipservice to your fear of the browns, commies, and gays? If you let them be dictators them, they won't give a moments thought to abandoning you for the minorities if it's more lucrative in the long run.

They'll make you think it's your revolution and that it's you against the liberals, and they'll leave you with nothing. You're voting in fear of a NWO, but that's exactly what you'll be getting. You want limited government, but these multinationals are going to turn into our new g̶o̶v̶e̶r̶n̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ gods.

I don't recall any Democrat saying they aren't. Consensus on both sides of the Isle is that the country DOES need to change. The only difference between we on the left, and you are that we want to move forward instead of backward. Cunt

This is my problem with Democrats. You forcibly conscript the idea that any progress is your progress and anything else is regressive. It's that kind of pretentiousness, that ignorant pride that claims any and all good is yours and all evil belongs to Republicans that breeds /pol/tards.

Try sniffing your own shit for a change, I guarantee it stinks just as much.

Could've fooled me. Look at your post again and try telling me you're the voice of cool reason.

And I don't see any real 'war' in the US. Just petty squabbling over politics and a partisan-driven refusal to admit they're better off than they ever were in this century or the last. I know the stats have got my back on this one, so feel free to ask for them.
>>
>>121949
You say all that, yet the Republicans have not done a single thing to benefit the people, or even appeal to them with lip service at the very least. And no, most of the people don't earn seven figures or above, and get bussed around in limousines stocked with Dom Perignon.

Frankly, any poor and disenfranchised person voting Red is little better than a turkey voting for longer Christmases. You misconstrue the emotion directed to Republican voters from the informed to be hatred and contempt. Pity would be closer to the truth.
>>
>>120767
Have you stopped to think of who makes up a good chunk of the red party? It's people who care more about social issues than economic ones. As long as you have democrats fully supporting things like abortion in any circumstance, no-fault divorce, and unchecked immigration, you're going to have people who would've been interested in voting for you looking elsewhere.

But democrats as a whole are too foolish to notice that. They're so entwined in forcing both economic and social change in the same platform that they can't understand why they're pushing people away. The party is entirely comprised of egalitarian intellectuals running the show supported by a mass of minorities with a sprinkling of working class whites in northern states and California, and they still wonder why they can't woo what should be easy targets to vote for them.

That is typical of liberals. You don't understand anything and just assume people disagree with you bevause they're evil.

Pregnamt Illegal immigrants come to America specifically to have their baby on our soil. because IMMIGRATION LOOPHOLE that kid is now an America.

This is a joke. Its only the law legal because some kangaroo court said "there is no real distinction between a legal immigrant and an illegal immigrant."

>I don't recall any Democrat saying they aren't
>we want to move forward

Meaning you want to be more like non-American countries.

Why don't you just move, and leave this country be?

Because you dont like liberty. You want to force everyone into communism.

There doesn't need to be a reason that it benefits society.

People weren't starving in America long before communism became trendy.

Well they wouldn't ask for abortion if they didn't find a man responsible enough to take care of both them and their children.

They should accept that Motherhood is the fate of all women, and that heterosexual marriage prevents the strife that their children will go through. That's why homosexuality and abortions should be outlawed.

Give me a reputable, non-revisionist source that refutes Nixon's well-documented appeal to Southern whites, following their disenchantment after Lyndon B. Johnson's signing of the Civil Rights Act. Here's a memo from Nixon's administration in 1971 detailing his plan to deal with the Democrats:

http://thenewyorker.typepad.com/online__georgepacker/files/dividing_the_democrats1.pdf

Nixon may not have used those exact words, but his strategy definitely existed and gave American politics its biggest facelift since Roosevelt's New Deal. I leave it to you to decide whether its legacy is a good or a bad one.

What does that have to do with anything? This is the best evidence you have, but I could find endless quotes of racist democrats. Does that mean your party is racist? Yes. Yes it does.

Democrats were the party of slavery and Jim Crow racist segregation. This is indisputable.

THE MYTH is that the racists magically switched parties. It's totally baseless, one dixiecrat switched to republican and ALL THE REST OF THE RACISTS remained democrat.

And they are still racist to this day. They went from discriminating against blacks, to discriminating through affirmative action.

The Great Depression, are you serious. That is no argument for socialism. It's an argument for ending the federal reserve, but that's another topic.

Socialism is THE GOVERNMENT USING FORCE to reallocate wealth.

You think this is the same, and church goers funding a soup kitchen?

Please don't do that. There is an enormous difference here. When the government forces people to do something they are putting a gun to your head and forcing compliance.

Liberals lie. They lie and they lie and they lie every day.

The day after republicans won civil rights for blacks (More Republicans voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act than Democrats) you began shouting RACIST at the top of your lungs and have not stopped to this day.

The only quality more common in liberals than dishonesty, is projection.

Your party is the only racist party today. Who supports race based laws? Who supports welfare policies that are known to keep the poor disenfranchised?

Which party supports third world immigration, displacing black workers?

DEMOCRATS

Shout racist all you want. It worked great last election. People are waking up to your bullshit.

Why didn't Hillary Clinton apoligize for calling a KKK member a "friend and mentor"

Some RINO cuck doens't mean shit. At least my party apologizes for things like that. Democrats have close ties to White Nationalists and the like, but they never admit fault. That's what real racists do.

That doesn't mean anything. The republican party is controlled by pussy democrat-lite shills. Every now and then they accidentally let a guy will balls slip through their wall of cuckold donors.
>>
>>123234
There is a good reason the KKK has voted republican since the Dixiecrats became republicans in the 70s and 80s. It's called The Civil Rights Act of 1964. They voted only for democrats or the States Rights party from the end of prohibition to the time prior to 1964.

She doesn't have anything to apologize for. Byrd long ago stood with the NAACP and held hands for the television cameras back when Hillary was first lady of Arkansas.

Nobody believes your revisionism. Stop pretending like the GOP hasn't been the 'racist pandering party' since the 1964. The one central tenant of The Southern Strategy employed by the GOP for 50 years has been pandering to 'states rights' racists who want to go back to segregation.

I'm not advocating socialism, I'm advocating moderation. The problem here seems to be your belief that any restrictions on big business, no matter how reasonable or limited, equates to Socialism.

Are we holding entire political parties responsible for what their chairman says?

Donna Brazile is corrupt and got debate questions early.

Does that mean democrats are the party of corrupt cheaters?

Of course not. We judge political parties based on their policies.

Which racist policies do republicans support? None. They support pro-American policies that you psychos equate with racism.

Democrats are guilty of slavery, Jim Crow segregation, the KKK, and racial affirmative action, crime laws that lead to predicted MASSIVE black incarceration, and welfare policy that predictably keeps black families poor and broken.

You can produce no similar list of republican racist. All you have are innuendo and allegation.

You honestly don't agree with the travel ban, do you? Does it make any sense to restrict immigrants from 7 countries simply because they're Muslim, despite having no appreciable links to terrorism and a significant proportion of them holding green cards?

And guess what, immigrants coming to work in America is mainly possible because companies are going to hire people willing to be paid less to do awful jobs not many people want! Since you support the free market, wouldn't you agree that employers should have the right to hire whoever they want, and big government shouldn't interfere with that?
>>
>>123246
Wow, brilliant deflection. But you're purposely missing the point that the chairman of the party does speak for the party when he is apologizing for 40 years of racial pandering, from George Wallace to Willie Horton to John McCain's fictional "black baby" in 2000.

The problem with his apology is that the GOP didn't stop pandering in 2005 when he made it. McCain employed the same tactics against Obama in 2008 and Romney in 2012. I don't think Trump could be pegged under the same GOP card as the rest but he still definitely employs racial dog whistles in his speeches if not his forthcoming actions.
>>
>>123248
>You honestly don't agree with the travel ban, do you?

>awful jobs not many people want!

Oddly enough, I actually agree with you a bit (but just a bit) about banning more countries that deserve it. Saudi Arabia is one of them, given the shiploads of dollars they hand out like candy to terrorist groups. I'd say that definitely warrants a few sanctions, except our petro-driven economy prevents us from doing more than raising an eyebrow.

Moderate muslims, by and large, simply want to get on with their lives like everyone else. Yes, the 'not all Muslims' meme isn't one because people are sensible enough to realise that for all of ISIS' propaganda of being the one true Islam, Muslim-majority countries like Turkey and Indonesia never bought that crap and are secular democracies to boot. Penalising non-extremist countries like them instead of those that actually make concrete contributions to world terror is just ass-backwards; 'discrimination' isn't a snarl word, it's the only fitting word to explain this mess.

Pick one and only one.

The fact that Turing is still trying to deflect their CEO's greed onto the general industry is galling in its audacity.

Yes, Big Pharma ought to be overhauled, to get rid of profiteers like his ilk who disregard the sick for higher profit margins. And you voted in the very guy who's going to kneecap those efforts by handing healthcare over to his ilk and further cutting their taxes.

>>123264
The Founding Fathers who wrote the constitution thought so. Makes sense, because just about every American apart from American Indians are descendants of immigrants; if you think about it, we've voted a German into the White House, and have done so before (Eisenhower).

If they obey the law and pay their taxes, which a large proportion of them do, then yes, let them come and stay by all means so the country can profit by their labor. The welfare-hoggers are the exception, not the rule, no matter how blue in the face wingnuts get while talking about them, and even they're competing with whites too.

But Obamacare was a wet dream cum true for insurance companies. It forces everybody to pay for corrupt healthcare they can't afford.

>>123398
Democratic policies are overwhelmingly populist. Universal healthcare is populist. Social programs are populist. Banking regulations and EPA are populist. Endowment for the arts is populist. A strong government is populist because it overwhelmingly benefits the working class, which have the largest numbers to influence the vote, but not the most disposable income to vote with their dollar. Citizens United may have been conservative, but it was certainly not populist.

Trump, Congressional Republicans, and Bannon are either lying through their teeth or don't understand the meaning of populism. They've billed themselves as populist and totally sold the country to corporations. In what sense is that America First? Maybe an argument can be made that tarrifs and subsidies are populist, which is why unsurprisingly it's one of the promises of Trump that Congress is least likely to support.

So you're willing to sacrifice the constitution itself for the sake of eliminating socialism and only pay taxes for military might. That's the core of your problem; you don't want to pay for shit that you don't need.

Also, isn't socialism the practice of cooperation between workers in terms of production as oppose to an hierarchical structure of employers? Cause that what Marx advocate this whole time. What you're wailing against is the welfare state in which you have to pay taxes for charity and volunteer programs, like Social Security and Medicaid. Plus you're against regulatory programs like the EPA and DoE, which use taxpayer's money to enforce federal laws.

It all comes down to Taxes and Welfare, not Socialism and Communism. So leave the Commie narrative out of this and just complain on how the nanny state creates a generation of lazy ass fucks who don't want to take responsibility on their own actions.

Are you really trying to argue that the information you learned in school is accurate?

That's a joke. You could google for yourself some contrary information, but that's requires courage. Literally one guy dixiecrat switched, and the rest stayed democrats.

Right after the republicans passed the Civil Rights Act, democrats began supporting race based policies like Affirmative Action.

Try to understand what racism actually is. Who cares what type of racism they practice? It's treating people differently based on race. This is outright discrimination, favoring blacks and hispanics for job and college applications, and punishing whites and Asians solely based on race. They've done the same thing with gender.

I was thinking the other night, how during the slavery times, people didn't really think slavery was so bad. That's just how things were, and maybe it was better that way.

That's exactly how people feel about the racism toward whites right now. You people aren't a bunch of sick racist like the slave traders, you're just SHEEP going with the flow.

In 15 years we'll all be looking back as if we all knew these policies were wrong. And by then the democrats and republicans will have switched parties again, surely it was those damn republicans at it again!

How is it all-inclusive to discriminate against whites in school and jobs applications?

There are extra help programs in school that are for only certain races. Where I grew up there was a program just for Asians.

Companies get money from the government if they hire black people or females.

There was this Asian kid who studied extremely hard, living in the ghetto. But because of Affirmative Action, he didn't get into Yale. If he were black he would have gotten into Yale easily. But other members of his race have "privilege."

These are real life examples of racism happening every day BY OUR GOVERNMENT. That's the institutional racism you liberals have been looking for. But it's the wrong kind, right. lol

It does when you think of the enormous political opportunity that lied with the disaffected southern democrats who felt betrayed by their party, Nixon decided to cash in on that angst years later in the 70's. Demographic shifts take time, but they happen.

It's also being disingenuous to act like the republicans were the sole reason why the bill passed. LBJ was it's biggest supporter, and signed it into law, also more democrats voted for the bill than did Republicans. The southern democrats were a racist faction of the party I don't deny it, but they were a minority, and largely switched over to republicans in the ensuing decades.

This is an outright lie, and the rest of your post isn't much better.

It's miseading to imply that only some democrats were the racists. There were racists democrats and non-racist democrats, but ALL racists were democrat.

And there is NO evidence that they switched to republican. The so-called racist republicans merely want their country to stop changing. You don't have to be white to feel that way. The only protesters I see holding racist signs and supporting racist policies are democrats.

You wanted me to say that Dixiecrats is a lie.

I wanted you to take that arguement of yours to either /pol/ or /his/.

This is about the fucking constitution for fuck sake, so what does racism among party lines have anything to do with any of this? It seems to be like a Class problem above all else.

Western lefties have the weirdest idea about what "moving forward" means. Moving forward in my country means an increase in development of infrastructure and modernization of older, less efficient practices for more streamlined ones that make use of new tech.
moving forward in the west seems to be ethnic replacement and letting mentally ill people get their own bathrooms. You guys and your "philanthropic" handlers need to focus your energy on stuff that matters if you want to continue being relevant. If my country (China) ends up usurping you guys as the dominant force no one is gonna care about feminism or Western culture anymore.

Beware anyone pushing for a 'Constitutional' convention as what would emerge would be wholly unrecognizable from what was being the stated goal.

In this instance perhaps the shill,errr, representative of the people could just support and enforce the 10TH.

State's Rights. Novel concept.
