Md. Senate votes to repeal past calls to amend Constitution

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Maryland Senate has voted to nullify four previous calls to the U.S. Congress to hold a constitutional convention.

The Senate voted 34-13 Monday night for the resolution. One Republican joined 33 Democrats to support the resolution. Thirteen Republicans opposed it.

The Maryland General Assembly has passed four calls for a convention since the 1930s to amend the U.S. Constitution. The last one in the 1970s called for an amendment that requires a balanced federal budget.

What a waste of time and taxpayers money. Is that all they have to do, just play politics with taxpayer money? Really? They don't have any real problems to solve for Marylanders? They ought to go back home and tell their constituents that they don't have anything to do.
