June 04, 2017003 - Addressing Objections to an Article V Convention of the States.
Key Points
Objections to an Article V Convention come from both the Left and the Right.
Objections typically start with the false premise that and Article V Convention and a Constitutional Convention are the same thing.
Nullification is neither in the Constitution nor a practical solution.
The Constitution is being held hostage and assaulted by the federal officials who have sworn to preserve, protect, and defend it.
