I’d ban Rodney, too. He insists on conflating a Constitutional Convention with the Convention of the States and for that kind of asshattery he deserves his ban.

Nonsense. I wrote:

“A favorite tactic of COS opponents is to equate the general convention of 1787 with a future amendments convention. In actuality, continued JBS opposition to an amendments convention, in which discreet problems and shortcomings in our governing form are addressed, serves to eventually guarantee what everyone opposes, a general convention necessary to deal with outrages too numerous to be handled at an amendments convention.”

“Since the state amendments convention portion of Article V is as much a part of the Constitution as any other clause, it has always struck me as odd why Article V opponents attack the foundations of the Constitution they purport to defend.”
