.@kurtlash1 @rlhall120 @RTDSchapiro @KenCuccinelli Understood--but work with me, counter-factually. What if they didn't?

@Profepps@kurtlash1@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli time to bring in SCOTUS..states sue feds -
@Profepps@kurtlash1@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli or Congress sues states to stop it...either way -
@rlhall120@Profepps@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli Cong. not likely to sue to stop an assembly for redress of grievances. -
.
@kurtlash1@rlhall120@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli Yes,I think Article III courts would stand clear. Scenario eerily resembles 1787, nu? -
@Profepps@rlhall120@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli Yes. Also 1866 with Pres. Johnson claiming rump Cong. had no legit. power to propose 14thA -
@kurtlash1@rlhall120@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli Rumors he would convene "true Congress," or break up sitting one with troops. Wot larks!

@Profepps@rlhall120@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli Ok. States wd likely schedule their own convention. Timed to occur after nat'l election. -
@kurtlash1@rlhall120@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli An intriguing situation, yes? Not quite Article V. And who would set the rules etc.? -
@Profepps@kurtlash1@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli why get into such a quagmire crisis...somebody sue and go to SCOTUS...Congress or states

@Profepps@kurtlash1@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli of course by Cuccinelli, the run amok SCOTUS would side with the feds and no convention -
@rlhall120@Profepps@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli If conv'n support's win nat'l elect, the conv. wd take place anyway. Pop. constitutionalism
