Governor DeSantis travelled to Boise today to address our legislature. We were chosen with purpose. Idaho is strongly, let’s say “Red.” Idaho also has a balanced budget amendment.
DeSantis wants the US to have a similar amendment which isn’t a bad idea. The way he went about it is what concerns me. DeSantis framed the possibility of calling for an Article Five Constitutional Convention.
This part is frightening. Nobody knows what guardrails there would be and it has never been done before. Once convened they could throw the whole Constitution away and create a new one. Consider that whoever is in power would be in the driver’s seat for this theoretical event. Personally, I am against either side pulling this off.
What is means to me personally is that I need to get busy and finish this:
I have two or three chapters to go, and am debating one tiny change to the cover.
