Is Article V Alive?

"Bill Walker is a self educated constitutional scholar and irrepressible activist who has taken it upon himself to conduct a one man campaign for the Article V Convention.

He began by tendering a request to be a candidate for delegate to the convention from his home state. Of course, there was no such position available, as he well knew, but the rejection gave him a basis to start suing the government.

In two federal court cases, Walker v United States and Walker v Congress he has bolstered the argument for an immediate Article V Convention with mountains of legal citations and reams of legalistic polemic.

Undaunted by failure, he applied, pro se, to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. Summarily turned away, he has concluded that the court, by rejecting his application, has established a precedent that the Congress has the right to veto sections of the United States Constitution at will.

Walker’s web site, www.article5.org, is reminiscent of pre Revolutionary pamphleteers like Tom Paine."
