38. "...there have been worse times in our history..."

This moment is a dire as any in our history. The GOP controls the federal government & 33 of the state legislatures. They fought dirty & the dems played nice & now the GOP has their boot on our neck & guess what? They're not taking it off. The dems didn't just drop the ball, they lost the game.

Washington (CNN)The increasing dominance of Republicans inside statehouses across the nation has spurred talk that a constitutional convention -- the very meeting that crafted the US Constitution -- could be more than just a Hail Mary thrown to conservatives.

Conservative groups and Republican lawmakers have been planning for the possibility for years, although it picked up steam three years ago after a group of state lawmakers met at George Washington's Mount Vernon estate, just outside Washington.
Most recently, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush voiced support for the idea in an op-ed published Thursday in how he would advise his party to proceed following Donald Trump's victory.

"Republicans should support convening a constitutional convention to pass term limits, a balanced-budget amendment and restraints on the Commerce Clause, which has given the federal government far more regulatory power than the Founders intended," Bush wrote.
