Listen "Unconventional"
Episode Synopsis
With rumblings around a possible Constitutional Convention around, we have noted some similarities with those issues that surrounded the recent ERA discussions. Now we dive deeper. Can a convention be limited to one possible amendment or some small group of amendments, or is a “runaway convention” a real possibility? Can a state (this means you, California) rescind its previous vote calling for a convention? Suppose there were a convention; would it be like the Philadelphia convention? Would California be no more powerful than Wyoming in such a meeting? In fact, there are even more terrifying implications and scenarios - and we will review them for you. Meanwhile, we have a new Speaker of the House - for now - and the January 6th certification did take place without incident. But many believe the Speaker’s days may be numbered, and so our review of the history behind Speaker selections in the past remains relevant - and fascinating. That John Quincy Adams keeps showing up in the strangest places - like the presiding officer’s chair when he arguably had no business there. What’s up with that?
