Again, even an Article V convention will take awakening of the masses or at least enough to become vocal majority to induce states to act. I just don't see it happening. If it were to happen, can't you just see the circus in nominating the delegates? Will it be lovers of freedom and the constitution or entrenched politicians promising more off the .gov teet “if you only send me to the convention?” I am not naive enough to think we would have the scholarly, wise and humble men of previous Con Con.

And on top of that, if .gov doesn't adhere to written law, including the constitution, now, what will make them adhere to anything passed by an Article V convention? Will they suddenly have a revelation that this written law has meaning just because it is the new one?

Don't get me wrong, I am as gung ho on cleaning house and resetting .gov as anybody. But unless and until the masses feel the same it ain't gonna happen. And all they are after is more “free stuff” at .gov expense.

Pass me some a ‘dem nachos and turn on Jerry Springer.......

State legislatures will not send popularly elected schlubs off the street to a convention to propose amendments. Delegates will be men of known judgment, and limited by narrow commissions.
