So what?
That's the essence of the problem...
No it’s not the essence of the problem.
The problem is you attach importance to convention delegates and their behavior.
What they do doesn’t matter unless what they do has the backing of 38 states. That’s the point.
So if you fear a free-for-all, then you must think 38 states are going to support the free-for-all amendments PROPOSED by the convention.
And therein lies your problem. You have fear that 38 states are going to rewrite the Constitution in a manner as to what? to shred it?
Do you think ACORN, SEIU and Chicago hooligans are going to infiltrate and strong arm 3,141 counties and county equivalents of 38 states where conservatives hold overwhelming numbers?
You must be very easy to intimidate.
Do you ever take a risk? Do you believe the government has no business in making the trains run on time? If you lived in 1776 would you be willing to fight the British Crown?
All you answers will be No with hesitance and indecision but ‘No’ when pressed.
You obviously will trust a body of 535 members in Congress before you trust a body of 535 delegates chosen from the grassroots. Sad that.
Have fun being a sit-down spectator while others do the work of which you will undeservedly benefit.
