If liberals hate it, it must be good.

Maybe. But I think it's more of a "Don't throw me into that briar patch!" deal. A constitutional convention is russian roulette as far as I am concerned. The right is losing election after election due to voter fraud, bait-n-switch RINO politicians and so on. Who is to say that Obama doesn't pack the convention like he packed the Texas primaries.

And in any case, if we can't enforce the constitution we have now, what difference will it make if we give Obama (or his Dem successors) a different constitution that they will also ignore?

Heads are exploding in the FReeper World.

It's not a "Constitutional Convention". That would be what the founders had to write/debate/establish the text that was to be ratified by the states. This would be a convention led by the states (excluding congress) to "amend" the existing constitution. To add amendments. And all amendments have to be agreed to and ratified by 3/4 of the states (per Article V).
