It talks about an Amendment convention, which is what they were discussing.

There is no way we want an open-ended Amendment convention underway.

Why do you say, "open-ended"? Is Art. 5 not the way amendments become part of the Constitution, as has been done some 20-odd times? Does it not say, "proposed amendments", as opposed to a true constitutional convention, which to my mind is "open-ended" and means anything goes? I don't see how Art. 5 says we can scrap it all. Seems to me there has to be some idea of what is wanted before going in.
