Sorry for the delayed response but I have been gone all day.
“We can have every expectation that state delegates will rise to the occasion. They will understand the gravity of their assignment and conduct themselves in a manner precisely opposite that of congress.”
The manner of choosing delegates is not hard and fast, and certainly not focused on conservative constitutionalists. It is really not possible IMHO to get anything other than a mix of mainstream liberal and conservative Republicans, and Democrats transfixed on repeal of Citizens United. Expecting anything more from delegates chosen by the states would be false hope.
I suggest you track the efforts of The Assembly of State Legislatures who have spent time and effort for at least three years investigating the possibility of a Convention of states the rules needed, and possible amendments.
The one hope is that Congress in DC might be moved to improve their votes on some issues, if, and that is a big if, the states get too close to enough support that they might ask Congress to call a convention. My state has already bought in, but there are still many states to go. Eleven to call and fifteen to ratify. If you can reach consensus on what amendment or amendments to present.
In today’s environment, not prudent at all. Again, my state has already drunk the we have got to do something Kool Aid.
All before the ridiculous decision Friday by SCOTUS.
Good grief. I appeal to our God given right to frame our government and all I hear is bullshit about rats and pubbies!!!
