Terrible idea as it would be hi-jacked sure as day, and an army of Leftist Lawyers would legalize their way into re-writing the US Constitution.

Which is why the red states will never go for this. And you only need 15 of them to say no. So it's a non starter.

Current countdown:

For a Convention of the States dedicated to Georgia’s application language, which would re-balance citizens’ rights and state powers versus federal power, the count is 19 down, 15 to go.

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin

For a Convention of the States dedicated to a balanced budget amendment only, the count is 30 down, 4 to go.
