“No federal court or Scotus has legitimate purview over either a state or congressionally initiated Article V process.”

Ok so what?

They go against your statement above, what you going to do? You going to shoot them?

Based on a quick reading of Natelson's document, I would surmise that if the states met in a "convention" that was not called by Congress, Congress would be within its rights to say:

"This is just a meeting, not a valid Convention of the States, because we didn't call it. It's illegitimate. Any amendment proposals generated by this meeting will be invalid and ignored by Congress. We will refuse to send these invalid amendment proposals to the states for ratification, and if states attempt to ratify these invalid amendment proposals, we will refuse to accept the letters of ratification. Proper constitutional procedure has not been followed."

Hostage, you're the lawyer. Do I have this right?
