[Congressman Billybob]

I was there, on staff to FORMER Chief Justice Burger, when he wrote this misbegotten opinion letter. Burger had resigned his position on the court when he wrote this letter to Schafly. So this is the unofficial opinion of one, elderly man. It is NOT any kind of official statement.

This question was definitively answered by Congress itself in 1992.

You were saying ...

This question was definitively answered by Congress itself in 1992.

Now there's the statement that I find to be in conflict with Chief Justice Warren Burger's statement...

I have also repeatedly given my opinion that there is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention. The convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda. Congress might try to limit the convention to one amendment or to one issue, but there is no way to assure that the convention would obey. After a convention is convened, it will be too late to stop the convention if we don't like its agenda.

And very specifically, in regards to what you're saying and others are saying ...

Congress might try to limit the convention to one amendment or to one issue, but there is no way to assure that the convention would obey.

I would agree with Chief Justice Warren Burger...
