I just read the proposal by Texas Gov Abbott calling for a Constitutional Convention.  Like many, it is a bit scary to think about tinkering with this document that has served us well, at least up until the last few years. 
   As the size of the federal government has grown, it has been allowed to assume many powers that it was never intended to have.  Agencies have become law making bodies and now these very same agencies are arming themselves up and prepared to enforce rules that have made.  This isn't the way it was suppose to work.

  Gov Abbott's proposal has limits to what can be considered.  If it is limited to these, I have no problem with it.  Something must be done as we are losing our freedoms to our own government, not the red or yellow menace.

  These limits he proposes are:

• Prohibit congress from regulating activity that occurs wholly within one state.
• Require Congress to balance its budget.
• Prohibit administrative agencies from creating federal law.
• Prohibit administrative agencies from pre-empting state law.
• Allow a two-thirds majority of the states to override a U.S. Supreme Court decision.
• Require a seven-justice super-majority vote for U.S. Supreme Court decisions that invalidate a democratically enacted law
• Restore the balance of power between the federal and state governments by limiting the former to the powers expressly delegated to it in the Constitution.
• Give state officials the power to sue in federal court when federal officials overstep their bounds.
• Allow a two-thirds majority of the states to override a federal law or regulation.
