A constitutional convention would scare the living daylights out of me. For one thing, we'd end up with a document the length of the EU constitution, and instead of a Bill of Rights, we'd end up with a Bill of Wrongs.

I doubt it. Furthermore it would be dead on arrival in the state legislatures, and there is no way 3/4 would agree on it.

I trust the People here. There'd be individual amendments, not a rewrite, and the amendments would be voted on one by one by the state legislatures. Only those approved by 38 of the 50 state legislatures would be adopted.

Have you overlooked the ratification requirement?

I sort of expected that response. It has been programmed into us, mainly through the education system and the MSLM - oh the special interests and oh this and oh that. I suspect that State Legislators would see the awesome responsibility and act accordingly, besides it would take 3/4th agreement. The vague-ness in much of the Constitution has been the means by which Liberals and their appointed judges have controlled things for many years now. One impeachment here and there will not stop them.

Some basic Constitutional Covenants need to spelled out. What the Right to bear arms means- What is Life and Liberty - to name a couple. This slow progression toward Socialism must be stopped - if a convention results in abrupt Socialism - then let the revolution begin.
