In this video, Christian Gomez explains why term limits — a popular excuse for an Article V constitutional convention — are a false solution for reining in federal overreach. He notes that the Founding Fathers rejected term limits, which would lead to perpetual lame-duck Congresses.

In this video, Christian Gomez discusses the worst that could happen at an Article V constitutional convention.

Looking back on 2023, our Analysis Behind the News program highlighted about two dozen news items this year. We exposed Big Government’s advance toward its anti-freedom agenda, both in the U.S. and internationally. While the Deep State works to fulfill the globalist conspiracy, it’s important to remember that this can be stopped. If you’re listening to too much of the media, then it may seem like there is little hope in winning. Yet, with enough exposure and with enough understanding built by concerned patriots, the house of cards, built on the foundation of unconstitutional government, will surely fall. This is the reason we bring Analysis Behind the News to you. We offer perspective and solutions. Today, we’ll revisit some of the most important topics of 2023, and offer some updates. Plus, we’ll look forward into 2024 with solutions to topple that house of cards. If you’re concerned about American independence and freedom, then please watch and take the recommended actions.

In this video, Joe Wolverton, JBS Constitutional Law Scholar, discusses the moral implications of an Article V constitutional convention. He notes the recent moral and educational decay in the United States, and explains that when a society abandons God and morality, it inevitably gives way to socialism and a more centralized government. Accordingly, a modern-day constitutional convention will push the United States closer to socialism and big government.

In this video, Christian Gomez gives the top six reasons why a constitutional convention is a bad idea. He notes that 1) Article V does not lay out the process for a convention, 2) if America wants to rein in Congress, a Convention organized by Congress won’t fix the problem, 3) the purpose of Article V is to correct errors or defects in the Constitution, 4) we don’t yet know who the delegates would be, 5) an Article V Convention will not be controlled by constitutionalist conservatives, and 6) special interests would dominate the convention.

In this video, Christian Gomez exposes the Deep State connections to the effort to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. He highlights multiple proposals for a convention by Deep State-connected individuals, as well as proposed replacements to the current Constitution that would gut the God-given rights protected by the current document. Any Article V convention would risk empowering the Deep State at the expense of our God-given, constitutionally protected freedoms.

In this video, Joe Wolverton, JBS Constitutional Law Scholar, discusses the Founding Fathers’ opinions of a constitutional convention under Article V. He dispels the falsehood that Virginia delegate Col. George Mason advocated the convention method in Article V to rein in federal overreach, and discusses the opinions of other Founders, including James Madison.

In this video, Robert Brown discusses when a constitutional convention would be appropriate. He explains that a convention is a dangerous idea, and would only be appropriate to consider after the American people and their elected officials have become widely and fully educated about the Constitution and the principles of liberty that undergird it — and even then, a convention would not be needed.

In this video, Robert Brown discusses the definition of a constitutional convention. He explains that those pushing for an Article V convention (or a "convention of states”), who refuse to call it a Constitutional Convention are either being intentionally deceptive, or are themselves deceived. Brown also notes that alternative terms to “constitutional convention” originated in the early 2010s to rebrand the discredited concept.

In this video, Christian Gomez explains how a constitutional convention under Article V would work. He notes that only Congress has the power to determine the time, date, and location for the convention, as well as how the delegates to the convention will be selected, and how their votes will be apportioned. In other words, state legislatures have absolutely no power to limit or control the convention. Delegates at an Article V convention can propose to amend, revise, or rewrite the Constitution — is this a risk you are willing to take?

In this video, Joe Wolverton, JBS Constitutional Law Scholar, discusses the Articles of Confederation and its replacement by the U.S. Constitution. Among other points, he explains Article XIII’s requirement that amendments to the Articles of Confederation receive unanimous approval from the states, the 1787 Convention’s decision to entirely replace the document — including the mode of ratification — and implications for today.

In this video, Christian Gomez explains how the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 changed both the scope of the convention and the ratification process. Given this historical precedent, a modern-day convention could likewise dispense with the current Constitution and draft an entirely new one with a new method for ratification.

In this lecture presentation, constitutional scholar and educator Robert Brown discusses the constitutional concept of nullification; including: what it is and isn’t, the origins of it, what the Founders said about it, and how the states can use it today to rein in big government and stop unconstitutional federal actions. This lecture is an excellent educational resource intended for both citizens and their elected officials, especially state legislators. Watch and share it with others. Visit jbs.org/nullify for more information and resources about nullification.

In this video, Robert Brown discusses the state delegate commissions for the 1787 Constitutional Convention. He explains the difference between a “federal” and “national” government, the significance of this distinction, the 1787 Convention’s decision to establish a new government, and why all this matters today.

In this video, Christian Gomez explains the process for amending the U.S. Constitution under Article V. He focuses on the convention method for amendments, which has never been used since the Constitution’s ratification.

In this video, Robert Brown briefly overviews Article V of the U.S. Constitution and its provisions.

President Joe Biden and China’s supreme ruler Xi Jinping recently met in San Francisco, along with leaders of about 21 countries caught in the entangling alliance of APEC, or the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. While we know what the press reported about the meeting, it’s what is not reported that is most important. And the long-term ramifications of China’s intentions will have a huge effect on the ability of the United States to survive. You don’t want to miss this episode of Analysis Behind the News.
