Why don’t we say this about that.
At the present time, knowing human nature as we do and the founding fathers did, could it not be considered just a tiny bit dangerous to open the Constitution to whatever meddling someone might conceive in the misdirected effort to solve all of the nations problems, through the Article V.
Further, with the President elect someone with a bit more Constitutional savvy than the present occupant of the White House, I would say it might be counterproductive to consider an Article V Convention now that might be in direct conflict with what our President elect might have on his agenda.
Scared straight might just apply to the pansies in Congress to get their act together before someone makes a real issue out of their usurpation of rights belonging to the States and the people, not to mention their utter abandonment of their duty and power to control the executive and judicial branches of Government as well as themselves.
If you can’t trust 535 oath taking members of Congress to abide by their oath, you surely can’t trust delegates to an Article V convention to do what is right for America, especially when you have zero control over who the delegates will be.
Yes, I realize “all of the nations problems” is a stretch.
Even some of them is too much at this time in our history.
