It's not going to happen. And does he really expect that Democrats and liberals won't run and be elected to the convention? That somehow everybody there would be conservative?

Maybe Coburn's thinking a convention would vote on its decisions by state. That won't happen. Too many delegates would want the votes to be apportioned by population.

I could see a constitutional convention (if one ever happened) breaking up over just that issue.

If we cannot trust our own people to vote the right way then this is the last gasp before an actual revolution...

If we do not breathe we will certainly succumb to tyranny by drowning in it...
