‘An Article V convention can modify the Constitution no more than any other amendment proposed, voted on by Congress & ratified by the states can.”

“All an article V convention does is bypass Congress. The states still have to ratify any amendment that comes out of an Article V convention.”

When it comes to changing the U.S. Constitution I am extremely cautious. It is currently the ONLY thing that preserves our liberty (at least until we lose the Supreme Court). I have NO confidence in the intelligence, fortitude, or guile of the Republican party to win more than they will lose in such a convention.

The main thing i want done is the repeal of the 17th Amendment. It thoroughly damaged the republican structure of our government. Almost all other stupidity followed from that !
