If the Constitution is to be followed to the letter, every word, than that includes the 143 words in Article V.

I would respectfully ask that you respond to that issue. After that, possibly we can discuss other matters... maybe even your inadvertently referring to a Convention of States to Propose Amendments to the Constitution as a constitutional convention.

Sheesh!

34 States Call for Constitutional Convention
Following Article V is the objective.
I am not annoyed that you prefer calling the proposed constitutional convention a convention of states but I am curious why it annoys you that I do not.
My original intent in this thread was to suggest caution as we go forward. This is a worthwhile warning because every movement has hotheaded people who react without thinking.
I don't want you to think I am not enjoying this but I think we both realize our positions by now and further discourse would likely be pointless.
