U.S. Constitution, Article VI

Article 6 - Debts, Supremacy, Oaths

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

WHAT ABOUT ARTICLE V?

What does Patriotic Nation say about that; the refusal of Congress -- our elected representatives -- to call a convention for the purpose of proposing amendmentS to the US Constitution? An Article V Convention has been requested by all 50 states more than 750 times -- only 34 is required. So Congress is defying the US Constitution and violating the oath of their office ... that makes them criminals.

Gordie,
Thank you for your comment, however, I have only intended on posting the Constitution, and letting it speak for itself.
It seems to be clear enough without the SC interpretation.
