My question is, once the matter is on the table, what makes one think that conservative principals will prevail as the outcome?
Excellent point, to which COS might say, it takes 38 States to ratify and in today’s world the majority are conservative Republican so it would seem impossible that the impossible could happen. I would say, why propose amendments to a document that is not the problem, thereby risking other problems.
What comes to mind is the recent Circus surrounding the Kavenaugh hearings. Maybe those desiring a fluid and changeable Constitution are more interested in a forum where the Constitution is brought under scrutiny rather than as COS would have us believe a safe forum to propose amendments where nothing bad could possibly happen.
Indeed. Looking at the recent track record of Republicans and Conservatives vs. the Left, I would worry we would end up with a redraft more appropriate for the old East Germany.
