I’m not convinced that in the current political climate the amendments that would likely come out of such a convention of states would be amendments I would support. I suspect they would be amendments that would explicitly give the federal government the powers that it has arrogated to itself, making it nearly impossible to undo.
That being said, the court made the right decision.

Actually, it wouldn't disappoint me if the COS met and adjourned without sending recommended amendments to the states. It would put to rest the fear of a "runaway" convention. Now, as long as the convention did not adjourn
sine die, it could agree to meet again, say the next year, without thirty-two more state applications.
Toward an Annual Article V State Amendments Convention.

I dont need to look up the Tenth Amendment. The federal government has enumerated powers, the states have rights. States need to restrain the federal government from becoming dictatorial.
Close. States don't have rights, just like the FedGov. Both have powers as granted to them by the people. Rights are only inherent in the people. Government only has powers.

A court ruling on a case that a court should never have heard in the first place is not a victory.
Just like Bush v. Gore, every time a court takes a case which is outside of it's limited and defined powers, WHATEVER THE OUTCOME, it increases the illegitimate increase of the judicial power.

That being said, the court made the right decisionNo, they didn't.
The right decision was to refuse to hear the case, on the grounds that it was a political question outside the scope of any court's authority.
