Igor in “Young Frankenstein”: “It could be worse. It could be raining.” [Cue: thunder/downpour]
Ours is a state of emergency. trump’s: 1) vowed to be a dictator & to terminate The Constitution [FN1]; 2) a Russian asset in the midst of Russia’s cyber invasion of the USA [FN2]; 1/11

3) trump’s disqualified fr holding office (as are 6 current/former members of Congress). [FN3] Pres Biden must invoke emergency powers [FN4] & suspend results of the 2024 elections before trump can be sworn in on 1/20/25 & declares him/herself dictator. Time is critical. 2/11

Some suggest a long-term “fix.” Under Art. V, Congress call a “Convention for proposing Amendments” if 2/3 of States’ legislatures request it. Resultant amendments go back to the States to ratify. [FN5] It could be worse. [Cue: thunder/downpour] 3/11

No rules exist for a convention. In the 1787 Convention, each State had one vote. ALEC [FN6] drafts “model laws” & “has undermined Americans’ civil rights, civil liberties, and human rights in numerous ways.” [FN7] ALEC has proposed convention rules. [FN8] They provide 4/11

States’ delegations would be “duly selected in such manner as their respective legislatures shall determine.” [FN9] Each State has “one vote, without apportionment or division” [FN10] “Convention of States” calls for an Art V convention. It’s also uber-right wing: 5/11

Hannity, DeSantis, etc. If such a convention is held, corporations will dump dark $$$ & we won’t know the donors. The first step is for Pres Biden to declare that emergency. We can’t take more rain. And remember: follow Cassie Jackson on Facebook! 6/11
