Concerns Rise Over Constitutional Convention Calls Amid Political Tensions
As political tensions escalate, some Democrats are expressing alarm over the prospect of a constitutional convention. In California, legislators are urging the state to reconsider its call for a convention, especially with the current political climate and the influence of MAGA supporters. Prominent figures, including Scott Wiener, are advocating for measures to prevent a Republican-led convention that could threaten the integrity of the Constitution. Meanwhile, letters to the editor from citizens in Montana highlight growing concerns over out-of-state efforts to initiate similar conventions, emphasizing the urgent need for resistance.
