Read the links before you respond to article with knee jerk assertion that this will end the country.
I would expect that the same government we try to rein in may be the party that resorts to violence against the People to defend it's power base - that might do more to destroy the country than current efforts by the Left or anything a Constitutional Convention would.
I personally think we should try to repeal the 17th FIRST.
IMHO, that keeps the lid on things and won’t allow a riot. And,as the Senate gets back to normal, things will change for the better.
There are more RED states than blue, and within the red states, the state houses and senates are mostly red.
Repealing the 17th would yank the teeth out of the high density population centers that are so sickeningly ratz.
