Amending conventions, YES, Con-Cons, not a chance. Try basic English comprehension. No way can an amending convention do more than PROPOSE amendments. Period.

"…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Churchhill

At least there is the two of us. Perhaps there are others but time too short I fear. Even Beck has talked against it...

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress;

shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution,

So, in your retarded parallel universe of Zippy Pinheads, a Convention for proposing Amendments to the Constitution.....is not a Constitutional Convention.

Are you Napoleon, or Brad Pitt, in the asylum?
