It appears that the call for the Constitutional Convention is dead as far as this Ohio General Assembly is concerned. Both Senator Carey’s office (chairman in Senate committee) and Representative Huffman’s office (sponsor of HJR 8) have indicated that neither committee will be holding any further meetings or votes on the Con-Con resolutions for the remainder of this legislative session.
In hearings Wednesday, 10 people testified to the House committee, none of them in favor of the proposal. Their reasons mirrored those expressed in my post on Wednesday.
Interestingly, Frank at the Ohio Freedom Alliance forum has suggested adding a secession trigger to the Ohio Constitution, in the event the 34th State does call for the Con-Con and the end result is harmful to our freedoms. (I have commented on it, but it wasn't my idea -- honest!).
