Via Think Progress comes news that the recently defeated Religious Reich wants a Constitutional Convention through an obscure part of Article 5 that allows for constitutional amendments without Senate approval:
Meeting after the big failure at the offices of the social-conservative Family Research Council, the top leaders of the marriage movement  Catholic, Protestant and Mormon leaders among others  discussed the possibility of an unprecedented Constitutional Convention. Two-thirds (34) of the state legislatures would have to call for such a convention  which could be done only with great difficulty. Even then, no one knows what such a convention would look like or what sort of amendments could result from it.
What a bunch of bat shit crazy lunatics. These persons, of course, are the same ones who have been whining about activist judges! This latest move has to add a new level to hypocritical behavior.
