I have to admit it: You make sense.

The Constitutional convention thing would be a real nightmare for the Bill of Rights. By the time the politicians were through, we'd be lucky to have any guaranteed rights. And as for who might call for such a convention, Wayne LaPierre has gone on record as being willing to call for one if he's unable to get CFR tossed. With Washington Pols clamoring for one and Washington lobbyists echoing the call it's be a shoo in.

BOHICA!

Do some Googling for Tugwell and "New States" Constitution. They've got stuff all ready to roll, all they need is to present it to Our Elected Representatives to sign sight unseen, just as they did with the Patriot Act.

I'm sure there are plenty of other "replacement Constitutions" sitting there ready to roll. I don't think a con-con would last very long, because I don't think they'd be going into it "cold". I think they'd go in knowing how they'd come out. Stuff like this tends to be highly orchestrated.
