So please answer how a free-for-all (whatever that is) convention is going to translate into 38 states ratifying whatever free-for-all is handed to them.
I think to the people who understand this..., all I have to say is ... "Obama got elected."
They then know what that means for a Constitutional Convention... :-)
Then you are ignorant of how it works. A presidential election and a convention are very different.
As you can’t see that, I will mark this post and link it when I see you on threads that discuss the amendment process.
