So-called idea of liberal runaway convention is nothing but a scare tactic.
No danger of a runaway convention:
2/3s to pass an amendment
3/4s to ratify
However, through the eyes of a liberal, there is a danger of a runaway convention by conservatives. I’m fine with that.
The ABA Report to which I linked in Post #15 states that an Amendments Convention has sufficient sovereignty to decide its own majority requirement to report an amendment out of convention. It could be two-thirds, but it doesn't have to be. It falls under the same authority as the right to elect its own officers.
The report points out that the two-thirds language in Article V is specific to Congress, but not an Amendments Convention.
That 3/4ths vote works both ways. NY, NJ, Mass, Ct, RI, Del., Cal., Ore, Wash, Ill., Me., Hi., Md., Minn., Vt. And I left out NM, Pa, Mich. and Col. I think Mr. Levin should check his political map before he goes off about calling a convention. Based on the political realities it would be a waste of time and money with neither side achieving anything worthwhile, though maybe a great show for cable TV.
