The purpose of the convention will be to rein-in a federal “leviathan”
that he says has overstepped its constitutional bounds.

I'm unclear about what the plans are for this convention. All I've been hearing
is Convention without any fundamentals of which actions are to be taken to reign
in the Feds. The point of promoting is to sell it to the public, or is this another
snow job "Pass it to see what's in it" composition.

Are any of the leaders talking about the specifics? If this isn't clear then the
Constitution could be smashed into fragments so small nobody would recognize America.

When impeaching a POTUS the case must be made clear and sold to the public.
I'm not seeing this at all.

It’s my understanding that the states must send to the Article V convention only very specific amendments and topics to discuss and vote up or down. One of the topics that has been moving through some stares, to rein in the Feds, is a Balanced Budget amendment.

Getting all Levin’s amendments to be sent there, all at once, would be very difficult, but possible under the Constitution. Would take a lot of time.
