Anyone who thinks an Article V convention wouldn’t be absolutely and completely hijacked by progressives in both parties is living in a dream world.

BUMP. This is a bad, bad idea. It opens up a Pandora's Box.

I refuse to be convinced otherwise, the opinions of Mark Levin, Tom Coburn, and Freepers notwithstanding.

Ya think? They already have a plan for a Article V convention as well.

Not true. The states won't send representatives with carte blanche authority to do as they wish. They will send delegates, with specific commissions that limit their powers.

How would they "hijack" it? And if they did, how would the product ever be ratified by 3/4ths of the states? And based on the world we live in today, what's the downside?
