Put aside the JBS and educate yourself:

I know there were plenty of issues with the articles, and I have seen commentary that there were abridged because many states we’re almost ignoring them anyway.

That being said. Proponents here seem to be standing on some legal pillar that says, ‘a convention only has so much authority’.

I am questioning that pillar. Why does a convention only have so much authority? Who will stop a convention from doing something else?

Scalia was right: Anything can come out of a convention.
