An Article 5 convention of states is NOT a "con-con," to use the cool low-information type acronym.

An Article 5 convention is for the sole purpose of proposing amendments to the constitution.

No rewrite of the constitution is possible, but let's not let reality stand in the way of the hysterics.

and the purpose of the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia was to improve the Articles of Confederation, not throw them out and start anew.

We now see that the actions of our government do not obey its design.

Now, we have people saying that an Article V convention will follow its design.

I don’t feel safe.
