That sounds like a Constitutional Amendment. I thought we were talking about an Article V convention, called by 3/4 of the states?
It would mean a “new government” when a sufficient number of states ratify the outcome of a convention. If that outcome is a nice, fat socialist package you will see the demagogues come out in volume louder than we’ve ever seen before. You think it’s bad now? Every Fabian Socialist in the Hemisphere will be running ads supporting the new Hope and Change.

Your argument is specious. The states must ratify any amendment that the COS proposes. Rabid socialism would not cross the ratification threshold. I see no reason for anxiety here. Beyond that, what is the fear of losing the constitution? The government mearly gives lip service to it now. It is so bad that the leadership of the very people we elected in 2010 are trying to make citizens of invading foriegn nationals for the purpose of...? No, I see very little risk from a convention of states. And I see no hope without one.
