A Constitutional Convention is about the most frightening thing that I can imagine right now. Can you even comprehend how people so ignorant of the current Constitution and the origin of our individual rights would destroy our Republic if given the power of a convention. If you think things are bad now, at least we have a standard to which we can point and say that things should be a certain way. A constitutional convention run by the ignorant and agenda-ridden would eliminate even that and totally loose our nation from its moorings.
Can you see a 1700 page Constitution?
I agree with you completely.
If we can't enforce the laws we have now,and can't enforce the borders that hold thep people who live under the constitution what makes anyone think a new amendment would make a difference in the reality of the situation.
Maybe 75% of americans don't want illegals...but no one is protesting or getting active. We can't even get the federal govt to pay the states for their housing illegals in their prisons and jails or help with their hospital budgets.
Given our current political trajectory this is precisely the fate of our Republic with or without a Con Con.
I would argue it is preferable for our Congress Critters to explicitly renounce the US Constitution rather than use it as the empty prop it is today. Even the USSR had a Bill or Rights "guaranteeing" inviolability of the home and person. The Soviet Bill of Rights and our Bill of Rights currently serve the same purpose: to maintain the Hologram of Liberty.
