You don’t have to believe any of that. All you have to KNOW is that a ConCon would result in vastly more libs dominating it and it would rewrite the 1st and 2nd Amendments out in 30 seconds.

Many of the proponents seem to think the Libs/Dems are just going to set idly by and let the conservatives ram through these new amendments.

I posted in some of the earliest A-5 threads that the Libs/Dems and every ethnic and social group would have lines of lawyers to make sure they are represented.

1. Please see my post #52 which is responsive to your objections.

2. In fact the left is already fashioning an amendment to rewrite the First Amendment and you are in that fight whether you like it or not. If the left could rewrite the first and second amendments in 30 seconds, would they not already have done so?

3. I have not slightest fear that the left will prevail in rewriting the first or second amendments because of the arithmetic I outlined in my post #27. 4. There are other impediments to rewriting the first and second amendments which include the restrictions placed upon delegates to the convention by the states.

The idea of a runaway "con con" is utterly remote. It represents a danger relatively inconsequential compared to de facto constitutional amendments we are suffering every day.
