I suppose that I should add a new objection: it won't work, it will only make us look bad.
What do you suppose the media has been doing for the last 100 years since the inception of the progressive era? Do you really think they need a convention of states to demean the Constitution, conservatism or us?
That has been so thoroughly done by our media and, even more dangerously, by our education establishment that the downside to a convention of the states resulting in a "shaming" of the Constitution is already a daily menu of the media.
But consider your own logic, the media, you say, will want to stop an amendment to the Constitution by "shaming" the Constitution. How does that work? Would they not be obligated to say that the existing Constitution is superior to the proposed amendment? How does that "shame" the Constitution, it only supports it?
The very issue COS would have everyone believe isn’t possible.
That conclusion seems to fit into the category: 1. It won't work -so don't bother trying.
That is the counsel of despair.
